Daily Update:
We kicked off the day by reviewing yesterday's work—it's always wonderful to see how everyone is improving! Today’s spelling word was recognition, and our "Show, Not Tell" sentence was: "He was proud." After wrapping up our Heggerty drill, we doodled a sparrow and did today’s exercise: standing cross-body crunches. We split into three groups for our rotations: Read to Self, Work on Writing, and Teacher Time. After all the writing from our Fletcher’s Farm trip, the students had plenty to add to their journals today!

Math:
The Grade 3 students used their coins to practice skip counting today, and they were challenged to check for mistakes in Mr. Ross’s counting sequences. The Grade 1s worked on counting forwards and backwards from 1 to 10, while the Grade 2s focused on skip counting by 2s all the way to 100.

After Lunch:
We continued reading The One and Only Ivan, where Stella helps Ruby out of the truck. What do you think is going through Stella’s mind?

Terry Fox Walk:
The whole school gathered in the gym to watch a brief Terry Fox video and discuss why the walk is so important. We took a group picture on the steps, then walked together up Johnson Bridge Lane and back. Thank you to everyone for supporting such an inspiring cause!

Day End:
We returned just in time to complete our Book of Gratitude, with today’s prompt being, “Something nice someone said to me was…” Afterward, we signed our Home to School books and enjoyed a quick two minutes of free choice before it was time to catch the bus. Today's reminders in the Home to School books include:

• Fri: Orange Shirt Day
• School Picture Code
• Pizza and milk count
