Canada Day!

On July 1st Canada will celebrate its 148th birthday. The East St. Paul Lions Club gave the Grade 1s Canada flags and certificates. On Monday we went outside with our friends from Ms. Turner's class to circle the flag that flies outside our school. We sang O'Canada as we waved our flags proudly.

Here are our thoughts:
