THURSDAY

• 
1. 

On Thursday, all the students in our school are going to the Ontario Science Centre. You should have paid $2 for an adult ticket (kids go in for free). If not, please pay the teachers when you get there.

Go MicroSkills! Yay!

Those going by bus from Don Mills Station should meet Peter Vale at the coffee shop inside the station (on the floor just above the subway platform) at 9:15 a.m.
Those going by car should meet at Ontario Science Centre's entrance at 9:45 a.m.
Bring good indoor walking shoes, a camera, pocket money or snacks, and all twelve of your kids, and be prepared for a wonderful educational day at one of Ontario's favourite indoor destinations!

THURSDAY UPDATE:

Hope everybody's had an awesome time at the Ontario Science Centre! Meanwhile, some of us teachers were at an ESL teachers' conference at the Exhibition Place. It was there I was privileged to present a poster on the use of our special checklists to help us edit our blogs and stuff. Check out the pictures here and on the Foxes Bagged blog.

Anything look familiar?

Congratulations alumni Ghafour and Katie, who bagged those foxes!

Jenny and Vincent did a great job! Way to go, guys!

There were over 1,000 ESL teachers there. How many teachers can you recognize?

FRIDAY
