We had a great week here in the Grade 5 classroom!  Rube Goldberg projects are underway and are starting to take shape!  The art gala on Thursday was a HUGE success!  Thank you to all of the students who chose beautiful art to showcase, families for coming out to support this event and the amazing team of students who showcased their talents.  It was a wonderful evening!  We have a number of things coming up over the next few weeks…
