Wow what an eventful day we had!
Today our class participated both in Orange Shirt Day and our Terry Fox Run. We read the story Shi-Shi Etko by and discussed how their experiences starting school have been different then Shi-Shi Etko’s and we drew pictures of our favourite things to do at school. The school will be doing more Orange Shirt Day activities with our buddy classes again on October 5th in the morning so if your child would like to wear orange again that will be another opportunity for them to do so.
The kids were amazing both during their first school assembly and while doing the Terry Fox run. It was such a warm day but they handled it like professionals. I have also never seen kids eat apples with such concentration. Thank you to the Kitchener PAC for providing the nice cold treat for all of us after our run.
A friendly reminder that there is no school for students tomorrow as a it is a Professional Development Day for teachers.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
