In the morning we had the pleasure of watching a performance by the Dancers Of Damelahamid. They shared several stories and traditional dances of First Nations groups in British Columbia. We also finished our Christmas read-a-loud, Angel Square and found out that Mr. Logg was the assailant and that Sammy's father was going to be okay. After lunch, we did the math pre-test together as a class to get ready for math unit evaluation tomorrow. |
