We
chose to describe the small wooded lot between our school, Jeanne Sauvé
and the mall. This land is not only important to us, but to
the animals who call it their home. Unfortunately, this will be
the last year the grade 5-6 class will be able to use this site as the
subject of the TOE description. This land is destined to be developed;
it will soon be filled with condominiums and town houses. Here are some
of the list words the grade 5-6 class at Jeanne Sauvé have gleaned
from being at our site:
