We have started our new unit in French class - Mardi Gras.  Today we will spend some time researching our new topic.  Who celebrates Mardi Gras?  Why do they celebrate it?  Why are we learning about this in French class?  What is the French connection?  What is interesting about this particular festival?  Post your findings here.
