Welcome back!  This morning, we wrote about what we did during our spring break.  We also had literacy centres and worked on representing numbers in math (e.g., How many different ways can you show/make 15?)  In Science, students were challenged to build the tallest structure possible.  They also started making pinwheels.  Ms. Bain’s class had music and both classes had physical education.
