Top memories from Grade 5

Now that we are getting close to the end of the school year, I’d like you to look back over the year.  What were your top 3, or 5, or even 10, memories?  Write them in our blog as a post or create a comic using BitStrips. Explain why you liked the activity. I hope to turn our list into a segment on our last episode of Portable TV.
