This blog has been created as a resource for students in Mr. Hostash's grade five class. In addition, I hope others out there find it useful as a resource to help their students/children.

June 18 is Middle School Visit Day
June 18 will be when Mr. Hostash's and Mrs. Richards' classes will be visiting the middle school to get a small taste of what life will be like in the middle school. They will get to practice opening a locker, see that 3 minutes is actually a long time to switch classes, meet Mr. Reeve the middle school principal and possibly other sixth grade staff members. Don't forget to ask them about their experience!
