French Friday: Little Pim Springtime!

Bonjour friends!

Today seems like a perfect day to give you a little bit of a French lesson.  :)  Why?  Because it's a beautiful language AND because today is my one month anniversary on this blog!  I'm going to celebrate by teaching you a little bit of the French language.  Yay!

As I've said before on this blog, I grew up in Quebec (in America, most people pronounce it as "Kwah-beck", but it can also be pronounced "Kay-beck").  My family speaks both English and French.  How about your family?  Do you speak two languages at home too?

Here's a short video to teach you some simple French words for food you eat.  Practice using these words today at home or at school/work!

Okay, and PLEASE tell me someone else giggled a little bit when you read "French Friday" and immediately thought of greasy, salty french fries.  I know you did.  Just reading it again made me a little hungry.

Happy day to all of you, Kangaroonies!

Musical Mondays: OUR LOVE IS A RAINBOW

Welcome back from the weekend!

I just watched the videos that the Captain posted...I am super-jazzed to make my own magic crystal tree.  It looks pretty easy...if you make a tree, will you email me a photo?  Just send it to claraboothecaribou@gmail.com and I'll post your photo here!

My weekend was busy, but fun.  I visited family in Québec (that's in Canada) and celebrated my mom's fête (birthday).  Her favorite treat is ice cream (or crème glacée, as we call it), so we bought her a cake made of ice cream and put a lot of candles in it.  She loved it!

Speaking of love, my Monday music video features a Brownie troop from South Carolina singing a song called "Our Love is a Rainbow" that they recorded with the band Lunch Money.

They recorded the song to raise money to build a school in Tanzania (that's in East Africa). I think that's really neat!!

See you tomorrow, Kangaroonies!
