Mystery Everywhere!

This January, the Grade 5b class began a book club about mysteries. We're looking at all the elements that make up mysteries and how they are created...stay tuned for some of our own mysteries later on! There are some great sites for puzzle-solvers like us to try. Check out the 3-D Maze link and many more as we explore this genre.

Happy New Year!

Welcome to my blog...it's been a really long time since I got on this and updated! We've been very busy in Grade 5B, planting our indoor garden, learning about molecules, and comparing symbols of Canadian provinces and territories. All in all, a great reason to neglect this blog, but we're back to add our great sites and thoughts. We look forward to 2009! Happy blogging!
