le Mini Kit

On our next to last day in St. Romain en Viennois we went to the local Intermarché, where I purchased a Mini Kit Incassable in the school supplies section.





contents:
ruler
protractor
right triangle 45-45-90
right triangle 30-60-90

I'm pretty sure it is not possible to buy trigonometry paraphernalia in U.S. supermarkets.

I also scored a Travaux Pratiques for writing proofs and a Vocabulary Coach for memorizing Spanish & French vocabulary. Vocabulary Coach is very cool.

The Intermarché is a big-box Target-type store, like Meijer's in the Midwest.





When I get back to Springfield, IL in a couple of weeks, I'll see if Meijer's has right triangles idéal pour la trousse.

I'm guessing no.

They had maxi kits, too.

But they weren't suitable for the trousse.

I offered to buy C. a mini kit, but he said no.

He does, however, have his very own Vocabulary Coach.

He's completely focused on French & learning French now!
