Hello families,

Today was a good day all around, until we had to cancel the Family BBQ at least. :(

In the morning, we had another discussion about Terry Fox, and then the students wrote letters to Terry. This year, the students seem exceptionally invested in Terry Fox, and everyone put a lot of time and effort into their letters. Even the students who are often reluctant about writing didn't need any help at all staying on task. The finished letters are really nice!

We did an outdoor art project based around a book called "Leaf Man". Basically, the students used leaves, twigs, and pebbles to create pieces of art. I took pictures of everyones art and am in the process of getting them printed out. 

Our afternoon was mostly dedicated to the Terry Fox Run, but we also did a lot of cleaning. Hopefully the room will get lots of visitors at the Open House, otherwise what was the point???

Just kidding - I just hope the students appreciate the tidiness of the classroom as much as I do.

Tomorrow is our Spelling Quiz, and with all the work we've done this week, I'm getting the feeling many students haven't had as much time to practice their words as usual... any last minute practice at home could go a long way!

Have a great night,

Zac
