What a great day at school today. It was a festive pre-Halloween kinda day.
All together the school raised 418 non-perishable food items for the Me to We Halloween for Hunger campaign. Excellent.
In the morning, some students made some very tasty banana chocolate bread. We shared it and gave tasters to teachers and the office.
For the recipe check out the class blog at http://canadianstudentlife.blogspot.com/ .
Some students were shown how to add information, links, videos (appropriate) and interests to the class blog. All should be appropriate and somewhat related to school.
Doing a cell project on cancer? Maybe you can share a link of information at this site.
Remember that you have a History test on Monday (8-2 hint, hint) post a reminder on the class blog.
