Today was our Terry Fox assembly and Walk.  Four students from our class were Mr Mackenzie's helpers and helped lead the assembly.  The students who helped got a Terry Fox t-shirt.  This year we partnered up with the kindergarten class and helped them.  This was their first walk as a kindergarten class.  At the end of the walk, we could run a lap of the field to get a tattoo.  Gym today was outside.  We were on scooters and we had to move to a designated point. Then we walked with a bean bag on our head. Finally we had to run to the fence and back.  Mr Mackenzie appointed a Gold, Silver and Bronze for those who finished - girls and boys.  In French we finished our list of names and started reading out our phone numbers and recording them on our sheets.  Some of us need to look this information up!  We had our class meeting today.  We needed to thank someone for doing something for us, or we had to ask about changing something.  Something our classmates could help us with.  In Writing we wrote our first response to text - we wrote about hamburgers!  We had to write about our own connections.  What memory did we have of hamburgers.  Our story had to be longer than the text example.  We talked some more about book reviews today.  We listed everything that should be in a review.  Then as a class we wrote a review of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
