Our grade 8 class had a blast on the Indigo and Subway math and language studies field trip today! Students participated in a book and magazine scavenger hunt at Indigo and completed a BINGO book challenge, followed by comparing American and Canadian prices, and calculating tax, prior to making purchases. At Subway we discussed inventory and students practiced important life skills. What a great experience!
