Students in Mrs. Harnden’s French class at Plainwell Middle School had the opportunity to explore the French celebration of Three Kings’ Day by sampling an authentic galette des rois (King’s cake), complete with a fève. Traditionally, a fève is a bean baked inside the cake, but Madame brought back ceramic figurines from France to include in the cakes.
In keeping with tradition, the youngest member of the class drew names to determine who would be next to receive a piece of cake. The fortunate student who found the fève was crowned King or Queen for the day. In first hour, the queen was Ava and in second hour, it was Lucy.
It was a delicious and enjoyable learning experience for everyone - Bon Appétit!
