*Stargazing Night at Deshaye:  

In ELA this year we've been learning a lot about Greek Mythology, and the next part of our unit will focus on the myths that were inspired by the stars. After talking with the class last week, we thought it would be neat to observe the real constellations while learning about them. In order to make this a reality, we have planned a stargazing night at Deshaye for our Grade 8 class. Students from our class are invited back to the school on Friday, October 20th from 7:00 – 10:00 to gaze at the stars while listening to different myths about the constellations. After we finish the myths, we will head inside and watch a Greek Mythology themed movie together in the gym until 10:00. Students are welcome to bring pop and snacks if they would like to eat while we watch the movie. Please ensure that you are able to pick up your child at Deshaye by 10:00 p.m., and if you have any questions or concerns feel free to call the school or email me at m.j.bresciani@rcsd.ca
