Fall is a great season for spending time outside. It's got that crisp tinge to it that makes the air seem a little cleaner, and everything look a little more sharp. We took advantage of the first beautiful Fall day on Wednesday.
We have been working on making connections in Literacy class. I read the students a biography of Terry Fox and we talked about who our own personal heroes are. From there, I gave the students a handout and on it I asked them to make a connection between Terry Fox and their own personal hero. I decided to take them down the street to the park to do this. I told them if they worked hard and really reflected on the activity, they could run and play. Everyone was successful at this task, and a fun time was had by all. Some personal heroes were Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, Martin Luther King, pets, and even our own Mr. Seguin! Below are some photos of our kids enjoying the beautiful outdoors!
We've had some new students join our class this week, and below is one of them. She was asked to complete the statement "I Am..." She proudly finished with "kind." That's the best thing you can be.
