Students have been working on essays based on Jim Jordan's presentation to the school about bullying. Students are learning about topic sentences, supporting details and how to arrange paragraphs together to make an essay.

In honor of Terry Fox, students viewed a video highlighting his struggles and achievements. We discussed the concept of what makes a hero and looked into our own lives to identify someone who we would consider a personal hero. Students composed a recipe and a paragraph to describe their 'hero'.
