Ontario Science Center

Dear Friends,

I'm planning ahead for our trip next Tuesday, Dec. 6th to the Ontario Science Center. First, I mapped out our route on the TTC. Second, I found additional resources for you to visit connected with the Leonardo Da Vinci exhibit. You can check all of it out below!

You may want to review our trip route. I've posted our TTC "Trip Planner" schedule below. We will also discuss the travel route and behaviour expectations for our trip in class.
