Our Terry Fox practice run is going very well! Everyone has demonstrated the ability to improve on how many laps they can 'jog'. I am using popsicle sticks for them to keep track of their laps. The last popsicle stick is colored so that they know it's their last lap. Afterwards, at the picnic tables, we count our popsicle sticks. We are all working on improving our 'personal best' number of laps.
At home, it's always helpful to practice counting sets of objects 1 through 10 with their pointing finger. You can add problem solving (I'm sure most of you are already doing this).
Thank-you for sending in your donations for Terry Fox. This Friday, from 10 AM onwards you are welcome to join us for our assembly. Kindergarten, will run for Terry from approximately 10:30 to 11:00 AM. So far, I have 2 volunteers to assist with Kindergarten and more volunteers are always appreciated for the school wide run.
If your child is celebrating a birthday, I do have some spare gluten free snacks in my desk. Please remember to send birthday treats that are nut free. Alternatively, you are welcome to send in non edible treats.
