Terry Fox Week and Fall Equinox

terryfox2

Students are settling in well and enjoying social play and activity centres. We are working on colours, practicing fine motor skills, observing colours around us and how they may be associated with feelings, special events or seasons. We will begin special helper routines and “All About Me” sharing this week. When it is your child’s turn, they will bring home a notice so you can help them prepare to share a few items to tell about themselves (favourite things, family…) the next day. As Summer ends this week, we’ll start observing the changes that seasonal shift brings. We’ll also learn about Terry Fox, and what values make him a Canadian hero. There are several ways students can participate in the school fundraising activities. If you send a cash donation, please send it in a labeled envelope. Loose change causes excitement and stress in the classroom! Our whole class will take part in a 30-minute run/walk around the school field on Friday afternoon. Parents are welcome to come watch but it’s not expected.
