:
Friday morning April 3rd at 8:15 am
Report by Simeon (208):
 After this first meeting with us, our pen pals followed us to different courses. Jordan was in class with me but he was bored because he understood nothing of what the teacher was explaining. Jordan and Malik were in my class and the other pen pals were in other classes with their pen pals.
 After class Jordan joined his friends, they we hungry so they went directly to the lunch room. They waited in the stairs and finally they came into the canteen. They ate with us, there was couscous. All the American students said the food was really good. It was really funny ! 


Report by Emma (208)
Friday morning, the American pen pals came with us at 9:10 am to attend different classes. I think they did not understand because the teachers were speaking too fast. 
Then they ate at the canteen. They were very happy because the food was good they said. 
The next Wednesday morning they came with us again in class , it was fun. They also ate at the canteen. 
with the 207- 208- and 209.
