What We Learned Today...September 30th

Posing after the Terry Fox Walk

ELA: After our usual AR period the students spent the remainder of the period working on their Pandora's Box assignment.  These projects are coming along nicely and I can't wait to see all the finished products in a few weeks!

Health: Since we were missing quite a few of our classmates to full band today we decided not to launch our new Health unit without them.  During this period the remaining students had a bonus period to work on any homework they had.

Religion: Students continued working on their Creation Story Assignments before we headed to the gym for our pictures!

Terry Fox Walk: During the last hour of the day we met up with our little buddies in the Kindergarten room and walked around the Deshaye area in honour of Terry Fox.  Once we got back to the school our class spent the rest of the hour reading with their little buddies. I was so impressed with how kind and caring the Grade 8 students were with their little buddies today.  They were so patient with their little buddies and did such a wonderful job making them feel special and I know for a fact that the kindergarten students can't wait to hang out with their Big Buddies again! Great job Grade 8's!
