Highlights:

Our two classes had Part I of our 5 senses assessment today.  Students got to a chance to share how much they have learned in class.  Tomorrow we will be doing Part II of our assessment.

Wow, there were so many students wearing pink shirts today!  The whole school was overflowing with kindness… what a wonderful feeling!

Sincere apologies to all the volunteers who came in today for Mrs. Leung-Chow’s in class field trip!  There was a misprint on the calendar and the ACTUAL date of the field trip is tomorrow.  Students are excited to experiment with their different senses
