Paella and Pala

Last week, Grade 7 students took a guided tour of the Basque Museum and Cultural Center in downtown Boise and tried their hand at pala. This tour connected our Language B classes in Spanish and French with our local community and the Basque people from Northern Spain and Southern France. It also tied in Physical Education as students learned about a sport specific to the region. After the museum tour, the students enjoyed a traditional Basque lunch at Leku Ona with soup, salad, paella, and other Basque entrees.

Thanks to teachers Fiona Spence, Tarrah Elam, and Erik Selekof for organizing the trip. To learn more about the Basque Museum and Cultural Center, visit http://www.basquemuseum.com/
