Today was the first day of Term 2. We no longer have baking, but tomorrow we will be starting Art with Mr., Stolte. We would have started today but for our weekly trip to the YMCA. We got to leave for the Y at a much earlier time than in the past. We left school to take the TTC to the Y at 9:20 and got there around 10:00. This gave us plenty of time to engage in physical fitness activities. We walked over two miles on the upstairs track and then put in twenty minutes on the treadmill machine. Then we went to the food court at Scarborough Town Centre to eat our lunch.  After lunch we did some walking around the mall and then took the TTC back to school.

We got back around 1: 20 and worked on some literacy activities on the whiteboard. We then filled in the daily report. We finished off the day with a meditation sitting.
