Toonies for Terry

3 Things We Learned Today:
1. "In Math we were learning ABC patterns with shapes and colors. We also had a problem: Mikayla had a bowl of jellybeans. It had 63 jellybeans. She had friends and we could decide how many. We had to decide what was the best way to share the jellybeans." A.C.
2. "In Inquiry we built optimal communities. We had to answer 2 important questions when we were building: What was in our community and Why do we need it?" K.O.
3. "In Writer's Workshop we read a book called Superworm. We were writing stories about superheroes." A.D.


Today we talked about the word hero and who we think of when of this word. This is going to lead to a discussion around Canadian heroes-including Terry Fox. Every September schools across Canada participate in different learning activities to learn about Terry, and most importantly The Terry Fox school run.
Our run will be this Friday shortly after 11am. During this week students are encouraged to bring a 'Toonie for Terry' to help support the Terry Fox Foundation and research for cancer.
