Wish you could have been there to witness it. Afterwards, everyone had an opportunity to share their reflections. Here are some of them:<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Kyle: It was hard because we sometimes forgot where to put the pieces. Our team worked together as a team.<\/li>\n<li>Sophia: It was fun but challenging because it was hard to explain without touching the Lego pieces.<\/li>\n<li>Lucas C: I think it was hard to remember the blocks because it was only for 10 seconds. We had to remember what it was.<\/li>\n<li>Jeyvion: It was funny because we kept on putting the red on the same side. We had good teamwork.<\/li>\n<li>Jebrael: It was fun because I like working with different people.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Remembrance Day<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/chanl\/files\/2019\/11\/Remembrance-George-Chow_opt.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3701 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/chanl\/files\/2019\/11\/Remembrance-George-Chow_opt.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"117\" \/><\/a>We have been learning about why we observe Remembrance Day.
