A big thank you to my brother-in-law, Mr. McLean, an Air Canada pilot, for coming in to talk to our Grade 6s about the principles of flight and providing a glimpse into the life of a pilot. We learned so much this afternoon and were very engaged! @StGregoryHCDSB
We are initiating โreading buddiesโ each Friday, to promote being a collaborative contributor and taking on a leadership role. The Grade 1โs love their role models! @StGregoryHCDSB
We had such a fun filled day at QE Cultural Centre making mugs and structures in two workshops. It was so nice to see students helping one another out during hurdles in their projects. Team work makes the dream work! @StGregoryHCDSB

In our Review writing unit, we got our bodies moving as we had an accountable talk about our opinions on questions such as โdo you like sushi?โ with value lines yes/neutral/no. When asked if they liked Miss Ferguson as a teacher, the results were unanimous ๐๐ @StGregoryHCDSB

Today we played Foosball tag, where students had to navigate through taggers on lines to get to the other side. Great strategy and skill were evident today! @StGregoryHCDSB
