Hello Everyone and Happy Friday!

Our first month of school is behind us and we are excited for what comes next!

This week at school, we focused on Terry Fox's Marathon of Hope. To prepare for the big run, we practiced by running laps in the field. Each lap we did, we got a popsicle stick. We then used these sticks to count how many laps, both as a table and as a class, we were able to run. Once our data was collected we recorded these numbers on a graph. It was hard work but the cause was worth it. The big run was held on Thursday afternoon and we ran all the way to the windmill and back.

This week we were also able to access mathletics and we also got to do some fun math stations!

In music we learned two new songs, "I Gotta Autumn-ish Feeling" and The Terry Fox song, which we sang as a school before beginning our run. Next month we will begin learning how to play precorders and xylophones.

In LA we worked on storytelling and writing. We got to make up stories and act them out in front of the class, we all had quite a laugh at the silly and creative stories. We also used Terry Fox's story and related it to our circle of courage. We will continue our story writing next week.

In gym this week we have our second inline skating lesson! They taught us how to go backwards on our skates, which was really hard, but we enjoyed the challenge. On Monday in gym we learned how to play kickball and a new tag game called, Fishy's in the Sea.

We are also sad but excited that Mrs. McArthur is leaving our room to go to Grade1/2, but we now have Ms. Overdevest as our teacher!
