Hello out there!  Today was full of excitement and fun.  Here's what we did:

1. Opening Exercises - Mad Minute - many students beat their personal bests today!
2. Math - we continued with our work on time
3. R.W. - I read aloud to the class for 15 minutes
4. Handwriting - the Grade 3's worked on H and K and the 4's reviewed Zz
5. Field trip - We had an awesome time visiting Sharon Gaetz and touring City Hall!  First we met in the Council Chambers and Sharon reviewed what the city is responsible for.  Then she answered a number of questions the class had (and listened to many, many stories about how most of them know someone who knows Sharon well!  She is so kind and patient!).  This was followed by a mock council meeting!  We had Mayor Seth Hampson with his Councillors, Aiden, Tyson, Alexus, Troy, Irelyn, and Tharyn.  Then Ryan represented one group and Jack represented another and they debated the building of an apartment on farmland.  Such a fantastic experience.  Sharon's assistant toured us around the building afterward, and made an announcement throughout City Hall that we were coming through which had the children beaming!  We met Aiden's uncle, and saw Seth's dad's office as well.  What a fun day!  Here are a bunch of photos:
