Today was the day of the play!
We left for Theatre Passe Muraille after snack time and took the streetcar Queen Street.  It was a moving performance and I am looking forward to reading the extensive written feedback from the class.  Be sure to ask how your son or daughter or brother or sister enjoyed the performance.  I think the play did a great job of breaking down some of the stereotypes of what suffering from a mental illness might be like.  The main character was a 12 year old boy named Charlie and I think the students were able to relate to him quite well.

Here are two photos from the performance, just outside of the theatre.  There is also another photo from yesterday's Drama work that I forgot to add.



The students were out for the afternoon, for the most part, on rotary.  The scheduled Math test for today was moved to another day so we can do a thorough review of the concepts.

There was no homework assigned tonight.  The Grade 7s were advised to review the Math pages in their red duotang.
