Terry Fox Run at CHPS-Thursday Sept. 27

A loonie or toonie donation for Terry Fox

 

Terry Fox is an important person in Canadian History. His Marathon of Hope has raised over $400 million for Cancer Research. This year, the staff and students of Carleton Heights P.S. will participate in a Terry Fox Run on Thursday, September 27 from 9:15am – 10:30am. The students and staff will be running on a circuit around the school grounds. 

A donation of a loonie or toonie (or more) would be appreciated to help us raise funds to help the Terry Fox Foundation. The students can bring in their donations starting Monday, September 24 through Friday, Sept 27 (the day after the run). We are looking forward with anticipation to participate in this Canada Wide activity and raising some money to help find a cure for cancer.

We are very proud to be associated with the Terry Fox Foundation and believe that our involvement will fit in nicely with our focus on character education. Terry Fox certainly modeled the following values: heroism, strength, perseverance, courage, determination, integrity and most of all hope.

 Thank-you for your support,

Mrs. Jawed

Two weeks of learning and having fun!

Over the past two weeks, we have been very busy!

We are learning and practicing our daily routines.
As part of our entry routine children sign in or clip their names under our survey question. For example, "Do you have a letter "Aa" in your name? Yes/No. We talk about the response during our math time.

Students are not only practicing to write their own names, but they are also practicing to write their friends names.

During our math we read and acted out Five Little Monkeys by Eileen Christelow. As the follow up activity we constructed and deconstructed number 5. Some students took one step further and are trying to count by fives.

We visited gym for the first time and had lots of fun there!!!
