Pizza Lunch

For those students who have ordered pizza this month, we will be having pizza lunch in our classroom on Friday. If you are staying for lunch but did not order pizza you will eat in the classroom too. Those students who did not order pizza and usually go home for lunch, will go home for lunch on Friday.

Nos correspondants ont répondu!

Our friends in France have replied with a matching game, just like the one we sent them. They have drawn self portraits and written short descriptions of themselves on separate paper. It will be fun reading and figuring out who is who. For our next exchange, we will be writing about our school, community, city and province.

WANTED: Super Snapshots from Sheldon

Choose two of your favourite photos and submit them on a memory stick or via email to Mrs LT by Friday 31 October. They will be included in a slideshow of our trip to be published on this blog. Since the pictures will appear on the web, they cannot include recognizable portraits of people. See my examples below:
