Highlights

Today we had our Terry Fox assembly and run!  Great job to all of our students for fundraising and participating in the run!  In Math we worked on understanding odd and even numbers.  We discovered that even numbers end in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8, while odd numbers end in 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9.  We also finished reading the Magic Tree House novel, Dinosaurs Before Dark.  Students were very excited to bring their “Me” cubes home today.
