Today during FLA students worked on expressing themselves in their journal.  They wrote about their weekend and if they finished in the 20 minutes they were challenged to add another sentence.  Students visited the library again this morning and we'll go again next Wednesday so please return books on or before then.  Thanks so much to parents who printed graphs or sent in graphs via e-mail.  We had a great time looking at them and talking about how "adult" graphs look very similar to the graphs we have been looking at and making ourselves.  This afternoon, students finished up their self-portraits and worked on a cover page for our science unit-hot and cold.  Students also did a great job practicing for the Terry Fox Run, which will take place on Friday.  Many students even beat the number of laps they did last week.  Room 8 has set the goal of a "Toonie for Terry" and we're hoping students can bring in $2 to donate to the Terry Fox Foundation.  We'll be collecting money all week.  Just a reminder Healthy Hunger Special Lunch is this Thursday.
