Grade One - Two This was the last week of our 'Snow and Ice' unit. Earlier in the week we filled a jar with snow and watched it melt.

After discussing the disadvantages of snow, most of us agreed that despite the disadvantages, snow is lots of fun.

Next week we will share them with others. Grade Three - Four This class is having an exciting time with the `Quick Draw' multiplication drills. Multiplication questions are given to a pair of students, 'with the winner ad- vancing to take on their next opponent. An - exercise in giving oral directions was undertaken by their class.
