Ice Skills

Taking to the ice, and learning how to skate for M and W was one of our Physical Education highlights this year. B worked hard on honing his previously learned skills and a great time was had by all. Little G even had a try on the slippery surface.

The Marathon of Hope

by

Mr. B

Terrance Stanley Fox was born on July 28, 1958. He died on June 28, 1981 of bone cancer after trying to run across Canada.
Terry Fox was the second oldest of four children. Terry’s Mothers name was Betty, and his fathers name was Rolly. Terry worked very hard to achieve his goals, for example he practicing hard everyday so he could be on the High school basketball team even though he was small. Terry Fox got bone cancer when he was in college in his right leg and had to have it amputated in 1977.
Terry got a prosthetic leg to help him walk. He wanted to end cancer. Terry wanted to ran across Canada to raise money for cancer research. Terry’s plan was to run 26 miles a day. He was going to start at the Atlantic Ocean then run to the Pacific Ocean. The name of his run was the Marathon of Hope. He started on April 12, 1980 in New Found Land. He ran 3,339 miles in bad weather in 143 days. He almost ran all the way to Thunder Bay Ontario where he was forced to stop on Sept 1, 1980 because his cancer spread to his lungs. He later died June 28, 1981.
Terry Fox is national hero because he was brave, and he showed the world that we can do hard things. He was awarded the Order of Canada. The Terry Fox Run is held every year to help us remember his World Wide Legacy, and help raise money for cancer research.

Caterpillar Coins Update

The Caterpillar Coin Insentive Program has been working really well. B and M are starting to read in their spare time to earn more coins. I have made a few changes to the program. I give the kids a coin for every 15 minutes read, and I also reward them for super good behavior and acts of kindness.

I made the coins differnt colors as well. Yellow are worth 1, Blue are worth 5, Purple are worth 10, and Green are worth 20. I made them the same color and value as our money so the kids can learn how to interchange the coins, and hopefully that will help make counting money easier.

Here is a picture of our Caterpillar Coin collecting chart.

Valentine`s Day Pizza

Who doesn't love special Holiday Treats? This year for Valentine's Day I wanted to keep it simple, yet exciting. I made the kids a surprise Valentine Pizza supper. All that it took was cutting the meat for the top of the pizza in a heart shape. The results were spectacular. The kids were excited, and the pizza looked great and tasted great too.
