         Ethan (Gr.4) is Treasurer
         Ben (Gr.5), Charlie (Gr.6), Kyle (Gr.6), and Sherry (Gr.6) are representatives. 

- Had our first "Work on Writing" session. We used our first two strategies to increase our writing skills and stamina. 
     - Strategy #1: Underline a difficult word and move on.
     - Strategy #2: Use because when responding to questions about the text. 

- Watched a video about early humans and how they migrated around the world. Then we discussed how and why the life of a hunter-gatherer was different. 

- Reviewed and practiced our multiplication skills.
