Terry Fox Run - Friday October 2


This year is the 40th Anniversary of Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope and is proud to be continuing the legacy of one of our greatest heroes. Please join us and support this wonderful cause by donating to: http://www.terryfox.ca/KennethDTaylorSchool. Together, we can all make a difference! #terryfoxschoolruns @terryfoxfoundation

 

All donations will be going through the above link. We are not asking students to bring in money this year and there will not be an assembly. Online donations will continue up until October 5th.

 

We are hoping to raise $2,000 this year. If that goal is reached Mr. Faunt and Mr. Belcher will put a pie in their own faces because they love to eat pie. Students will be able to watch this virtually through a link. Let’s see if we can make their dream to eat pie come true.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!  We had a great week of learning in Grade 2.  We finished our first novel study, The Year of Billy Miller.  Ask your child what their favourite part was of the book.  Our class learned about bees and the different jobs a bee has within the colony.  Ask what the "waggle" dance is! On Thursday we learned about apples and the different varieties, did you know there are over 4,000 different kinds?  Students then got the opportunity to work with a partner to make an Apple Trapper out of paper and masking tape.  Some inventions worked great, others needed some tweaking and others just needed more time to get it to work.  I am proud of their reflections and team work.  Everyone was able to express their needs at wanting a turn and sharing their ideas.   Have a great weekend.
