On Thursday, May 29, we had some special people visit our class. In the photo you will see Stephen Harper, the Prime Minister of Canada and his wife, Laureen Harper. We were also visited by Melinda Gates, of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Queen Rania of Jordan. Later, President Kikwete of Tanzania came by to visit us too!
The students worked very hard to write a message to each of our visitors. They figured out that to make 5 cards, 19 students plus 1 teacher ( 19+1=20) would have to make 100 paper messages altogether! Our tradition in Room 5 is to glue all these messages into cards and decorate them. We gave these beautiful cards to each of our visitors and they were so happy to receive them! It was interesting to think about how these cards will now go to Ottawa, The United States, Jordan and Tanzania.
What a wonderful day in Room 5!
