Today we read with our grade 5/6 reading buddies!

We spent some time working on story workshop - our writing is coming along nicely!

We also spent some time learning about different areas of the brain - the prefrontal cortex, the amygdala, and the hippocampus.  We learned that the prefrontal cortex is the wise leader of our brain, the amygdala is the security guard, and the hippocampus is the keeper of memories.

Today was Fresh Air Friday and we went outside for a nature walk for gym.  We brought along some clipboards and spent some time sketching what we observed.  Some of the students will be even bringing back some of the artifacts they collected!

We also had a fire drill today - we all did really well.
