Thank you to everyone in our class for ensuring that our Learning Assembly was a success.  A special bravo to the i-movie directors, producers and actors for sharing their experiences from Outdoor School in our Learning Assembly this afternoon! The drumming was amazing!  Another applause to the announcers and the students in charge of seating the class. The camp songs were outstanding. Teach a family member one of the camp songs that we shared with the school.  Why are Outdoor School and field trips important? How do these experiences help you learn?
