Feliz Navidad Cristina!!!

Where did the time go???

For the past three months our grade 4 classes have had the opportunity to meet and work with an amazing young exchange student from Tarragona, (Spain), Cristina Gonzales Pagan. It's with sadness I say goodbye to my new friend and colleague as she leaves for home this Friday, Dec. 21st...After a well deserved holiday she will be completing her last session at University. Her future students will be the lucky ones!
***Dear Cristina, each student wanted to write you a special note for this posting. The notes are included below. Enjoy! xox , Mrs. Gagne (France) *************************************************************************************

Mrs. G: I hope our paths will cross again soon, whether traveling or as colleagues. You are an amazing person and a terrific musician and role model for our students! I'm so glad we shared firsts...tobagonning, horse sleigh, snow fall, sugar on snow, pushing cars out of snow banks, cutting our Christmas tree. You leave me with many memories! Merci...
