OH NO!!! A technological glitch has cause all our students' comments to disappear... I guess I will have to come to the rescue and say what we did this week. The title of this post is by the students and I will try and remember what they mentioned we did this week.

This week we had a police officer (Officer Andrea) and an artist come to our school. We got to learn about personal safety and dance!

We also studied patterns. We took a walk around the school looking for patterns. So many all around us!

We had Fun Lunch of pizza from Boston Pizza today. That was exciting!

Check out our actions video we did in French. It's placed under the Vocabulary page.

We talked about Halloween. We decided we are going to decorate the classroom for Halloween.
