Tuesday, September 19 (Terry Fox Run!)

 Hi parents,

We had another great day today!

In the morning, the students made Terry Fox Mini-Posters, that featured drawings of Terry, and motivational phrases. They turned out really well - I'm in the process of getting pictures of all of them.

We did a sketching activity, in which the students chose Montessori Materials, or even just components of the materials, and sketched them, on a macro, zoomed in level. So one single bead would take up almost an entire page.

I'm hoping this activity will be a fun way of helping the students familiarize themselves with the wide range of materials they can use to help with their work, or just to further their learning. There are so many cool ones.

In the afternoon, we had the Terry Fox Run and Assembly. Both were a blast. Our class ran a total of 110 laps.

We ended our day by watching "Hair Love", and amazing short film that is connected to the things we've learned about Terry Fox. Highly recommend, but you will probably cry. We also went to the Learning Commons and reviewed how book check-outs will work this year when they start back up.

Have a nice night!

Zac
