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:

Pirates! Lost and Found

Below are some costume pieces that were used in last year's school musical, Pirates! Please take a look and see if any of them belong to you or someone you know. Thank you.

Science Projects: Organs of the Human Body and Endangered Species
