April has been a fun month with lots of interesting projects and activities.  We now have a guest for the next few weeks.  Mr. Riley Cronk is a student teacher from UVIC who will be with us for 5 weeks.  He will be observing and teaching the class math, PE and science.  We've had him at school this week and he has had a great time meeting the students and engaging actively with them.  Welcome to our class and school, Mr. Cronk!
