- Got to experience Calgary Opera firsthand and hear Maria sing a couple songs for us (without even using a microphone) 📢
- Used our knowledge of symmetry to find the lines of symmetry on leaves from outside Hawkwood School and draw one half of the leave to make our image symmetrical
We had a great first FULL week of grade four! It was so nice to see so many families out for Meet the Teacher last night!
Have a fantastic weekend!
