Thank you to the Grade 5 students for a WONDERFUL week of learning in the outdoors with the staff at Toronto Island Natural Science School. Thank you also for strengthening friendships and making new friends with the students from Ms. Rambaran's class, Mr. Davis' class and the students from DaVinci Public School.    I am just getting home myself and grateful to receive hugs from my family. Please share your learning experiences with family and friends. Have a restful weekend! I look forward to what the next few weeks bring!
