Grade 7 Weekly Blogpost

Your task is to create your own bucket list (10 things) and post it onto your blog. Please describe why you chose each item and insert an image.  Here is the beginning of mine.

Beginning of Mr. K's bucket list

1.  Visit Figi-  My wife and I have always wanted to travel to the beautiful country of Figi.  This will be difficult to accomplish as it is located on the other side of the world.  As well,  if I go on my summer vacation, the seasons are flipped making it their winter.

2.  Play golf at St. Andrews-  I enjoy watching and playing golf.  It is my dream to play at the "Old course" and walk across the Swilcan bridge just like Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson and many other legends.

Due Friday, September 20
