Lego Movie

I wonder if anyone in our class is the target audience for this movie!

Happy Holidays

 

Thank you to everyone for all your hard work so far this year. 

When I'm asked how I'm enjoying teaching grade 6 this year, I tell everyone how lucky I feel to have such a great class (don't let it go to your head).

I hope everyone has a great holiday with your family and friends.

Be prepared to work hard and "think outside the box" in the new year!
