Students participated enthusiastically in the Terry Fox Run today in spite of the less than ideal weather conditions. It was impressive to see the dedication and zeal that they brought to the run, even in the snow!
Altogether our class completed a remarkable 83 laps towards Terry's goal, and we are eager to hear what our whole school total is! We are also excited to learn how much money the students were able to raise for the Terry Fox Foundation towards cancer research. Donations will still be accepted early next week, so please feel free to continue sending in money if you haven't already but would like to!
It was also nice for students to have the opportunity to hear from a cancer survivor and cancer pathologist first hand! I think listening to Kelly Guggisberg's own experiences with cancer really helped to personalize this terrible disease and the amazing advancements that have been made in its treatment. We appreciate her taking the time to come and speak to us!
We also spent time today continuing with our wetland plant and animal research, playing the Guinness World Records game, and finishing up our first class novel! I think after the exciting ending to The Maze of Bones that many students will be looking to read the second 39 Clues book: One False Note by Gordan Korman, as well as the other eight books in the series!
A reminder that Monday is Orange Shirt Day! Students are encouraged to wear orange shirts if possible.
A reminder as well that our personality swirl artwork is due on Monday if it has not yet been completed!
Overdue assignments include wetland notes and definitions, wetland field trip reflections, and time capsules. Please check with your child to ensure that this work is done, and support them in completing any overdue work this weekend.
Have a great weekend!
