J'ai gagné A.K.A. I won

Well, today at lunch I played a game called "mime." It's a bit like charades but nobody guesses. I found out what we were doing and so everybody started to play.  What you do is you have some music and a row of mats that are in the shape of a runway.  Then one person would start. When you start, you wait at the end of the runway until the music starts.  Then, you do whatever you want down the runway.  For example, the first time I just walked down the runway and at the end I hit a big pose.  Next, you stand and wait for the person in charge to say something that you need to act out.  So, the next he asked me to act out three things.  When I was finished, he turned on the music again, and I walked back up the runway. Then, the rest of the people did it and then we all stood at they end of the runway and the man in charge started to say the names of people who didn't do well enough and were not going to win.  At last he had said everyone's name except me and a boy.  So then my friend came and told me what to do so me and the boy both did it one more time and then stood there waiting to find out who had won.  Then, he said the boy's name and everybody started clapping because I had won!

Well, we have finished the first month week of school!  I am doing better on cursive and am learning more French everyday.  Today my mom and I went over to my mom's mentor, Cyril's house, and I played with his daughters and we had lunch with them.  There house is very comfortable.  They told us about a craft store right around the corner from where we live and on Saturday mornings they have workshops for kids.  This weekend my mom is going to Paris so Nate and I are going to stay with our friends Thierry and Pascale, so we don't miss any school or activities .  It is the end of September so we have been here almost two months.  My dad just left again this Thursday.   I have to go now so as people say here, Bisous
