Abstract Based on ethnographic research conducted during 12 months at two elementary public schools in Paris, focusing a special class to France newcomers (EPE2A), this article intends to know how the experiences of these children are being organized through oral and written narratives. Although these children come from different countries and social classes, belonging to distinct ethnic groups and with radically different religious, they live daily in this classroom where the unique form of oral communication is the French language (still unfamiliar for the majority). In that manner, tell and share stories becomes a challenge to each student. This paper analyzes how and what immigrant children tell in such situation of intense multicultural contact.
