Z ~ One last hour together as 2014/15’s Division 8 Grade 3s – marked our last day together this school year before ZOOMING out of Nelson & ZIPPING into summer! We watched Mr. Gurniak’s fabulous slide show of pictures from this year, we took photos for an upcoming When I Grow Up… post & Miss Watt shared one of her very favourite Dr. Seuss books, Oh, the Places You’ll Go.

Everybody went home with their own images Flat Stanley selves & I can’t wait to see all the places that you explore this summer! Love you Division 8, have a TON of fun this summer & I can’t wait to see you all in September!
