I am so excited to share the news!!!  I just received word from the wonderful people at District Office that Mr. MacKinnon will be here on Monday, January 16th (also Jake's Birthday) to give us an in-class lesson on paddling and then on January 26th we get to go to MVHS for a morning of paddling in the pool.  I can't wait as this is one of my favorite things that grade 5 students get to do every year.  I know all my students will enjoy it tremendously!!!
