Hosting Special Guests..

We have been so lucky to have some very special guests in Room 301 during the month of January!  Last week, we hosted Freeman, Lee, Kat and Andrea.  They were able to help us better understand what it is like immigrate to Canada.  Each told unique stories and were lots of fun to get to know.  The students are getting lots of practice with their interviewing skills!  Here are some photos:
