Guess Who?

We had an amazing circle of presentations today. We met everyone from Mary Queen of Scots to Michael Jackson, from Mallory to Pele, from Archimedes to Gurion - from brave to poor, from inventors to adventurers. We met Leah's Great Auntie on Skype from Winnipeg - an amazing woman! Well-done, everyone. The Graphic Novels are an accomplishment as well.

Another important folder of bits & pieces went home today. Your child's journal chronicles the year. Do have a read!
