Yesterday, we went to Suncreek Seniors Centre and the students reflected on their experience in their blogs.  Please try to read and comment on your child's blog.  

We have some very talented writers in our class.  Here is an opportunity to showcase their talent in a Canadian writing contest. Here is the link for the writing contest:  http://www.polarexpressions.ca/StudentContests.html
