Happy Friday

Today was a great day!

First we enjoyed a book talk from Jaden's mom (and one of our wonderful class moms!). She was sharing a few great books that will be available at the Scholastic Book Fair on December 11. Her two favourites were "Loser" and "39 Clues" - everyone is excited to read them.


And later this afternoon, as a part of our Human Body unit we had a special guest Maxine Winters come in to teach us about teeth and help us make teeth and bone cross-sections. It was a fun and informative Art class!





Have a great weekend!
