This week we read the story My Many Colored Days by Dr. Seuss, and talked about many different types of feelings. We acted out various scenarios that might invoke these feelings and practiced using facial expressions as well as body language to represent them. Next we worked in partners practicing our 'feelings faces' and used iPads to capture some 'feelings photos'.
Ask your child to tell you about the feelings faces they practiced!
"Terry was leaving Heartprints for the people with cancer"
"Terry started all by himself and then he met lots of people who helped him too"
This week we will continue to look at the impact that Terry had on others and show our support as we participate in Andrew Sibbald's Terry Fox run. We would love to have you join us if you would like to come out to cheer us on and show your support during our run!
The Monday/Wednesday class will have their run on Monday Sept. 25th, with Ms. Chen's Grade 5 class leading and supporting us in this activity. We will begin the run around 9:15am on the West side field. We will be running for about 15mins.
The Tuesday/Thursday class will participate in the whole school run on Tuesday Sept. 26th. Classes will be heading outside to begin the run around 1:15pm.
We have been talking about some pretty big words lately such as perseverance and resiliency, and how Terry Fox was a great example of both. During our gym times we have been practicing for the run by starting each class with doing a few warm up laps. Students have shown greater perseverance with this, and now understand that even though they might be feeling tired or it might be a little hard, they don't need to quit...instead they just need to slow down a little!
