Ms. Hildebrandt's Agenda

What a wonderful way to end our Grade 5 year! It has been a busy and memorable final week together. This week we... Finished and presented the books we have been working so hard on! Got our tie dye shirts signed and performed our routine at the Grade 5 Farewell (and did an amazing job!) Added the finishing touches to our paintings!
