The Claremont food drive begins on Monday and it is a block 1 school wide challenge. The food drive will only last for 5 days. If we want to win this, each person in our class will need to bring 25 items by Friday. As an added incentive, I will give you 1 point for your team for each item you donate. Note that Save-On-Foods has a case-lot sale this week.
On a more serious note, the food banks of Victoria are in need of donations. Many people generously donate during Christmas time but the food bank reserves are getting low. Let's help the families in Victoria who rely on The Mustard Seed.
Homework:
- Read to page 48
- Write a poem as a tribute to a person you know in the form of a list poem. Use the poem "Ten Years After His Death I Examine a Few Lessons My Father Taught Me" as a guide.
