Terry Fox Run Day

Today was Terry Fox Run day!  And it was also a Wonderful Wednesday!
In gym class with Ms. W and played a dodge ball game.  In our classroom we worked in our poetry books.  Mrs. Haney Jones finished reading a Junie B. Jones book to us.  The book was very funny! 
In Social Studies, we talked and wrote about things that we see on our way to school.  We practiced our sight words on the board.  Some of us read book from our book boxes.  We practiced tracking.
Ask us what tracking means. 
Today we had an assembly and learned about Terry Fox.  We watched a video about him.  We learned that he ran halfway across Canada to raise money for cancer research.  He asked every Canadian to give $1 to the Cancer Society for research.  Terry Fox only had one leg.  He was a very brave man.  He ran a marathon every day.  A marathon is 26 miles long.  That's from here to Okotoks and beyond! We ran and walked around Emerson Lake for our Terry Fox Run.  It was a beautiful day!
Mrs. Quarin Wright came in and talked to us about hallway manners.  We promised to remember to walk at a medium speed, keep our hands at our sides, keep our eyes forward and smile.  Safety is so important at Ecole Joe Clark School. 
At the end of the day, Mrs. H.J. gave us a Terry Fox sticker and a tattoo.
