To inspire our own Terry Fox run, we also enjoyed a story
called Brave and colored our very own Canadian flags. We know that some
students in our school are heroes too, facing their own challenges just like
Terry. Many of us wore yellow t-shirts to show our support for Childhood Cancer
Awareness.
Terry Fox Run
Both our morning and afternoon groups had the chance to run laps in the field near our classroom for the Terry Fox run. In the afternoon, we went to the big field to cheer on our friends and siblings in the older grades. Everyone worked so hard and showed great perseverance! What an amazing day of running and support!
On Thursday, we recognized the upcoming National Day for Truth & Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day, which takes place on September 30. We read the book "With Our Orange Hearts" by Phyllis Webstad, which tells of her experiences as an Indigenous person who was taken away from her family to attend residential school. In the story, Phyllis shares how she was made to wear a school uniform instead of her beloved orange shirt, a special gift from her Grandma. Her story teaches us the importance of sharing our experiences, learning from one another, and treating everyone with care and kindness.
We had a thoughtful
discussion that was just right for the children's understanding, helping them
see the significance of Orange Shirt Day and the important message that Every
Child Matters. We also practiced our cutting skills by making orange hearts, which
serve as lovely reminders of our commitment to respect and kindness. Next
Tuesday, we invite everyone to wear orange to honor Indigenous children, and
support the message that Every Child Matters. Be on the lookout for our final
project results!
Math Sorting - Individual Exploration
Welcome back to our math adventures! Last week, we dove into the world of sorting, where students collaborated with their partners to group items in creative ways. This week, we’re excited to continue our sorting journey, but with a new twist—students will be working independently!
Just like when they worked with partners, students will start by identifying their own sorting criteria. They'll decide how to group items based on characteristics such as color, size, shape, or even function. This independent exploration not only promotes critical thinking but also builds confidence as they make choices on their own.
