Today we did the Terry Fox Run. Terry Fox wanted to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research. He was 18 when he got cancer. We run the Terry Fox run to remember what he did and to keep the tradition. Maple Ridge has raised over $1000 dollars so far! You can continue to bring money next week.

We learned Terry Fox has 3 special characteristics:
COURAGE
DETERMINATION
COMPASSION

We read the book Bubble Gum brain today to help us understand DETERMINATION. We talked about mindset and how our brain believes what you tell it. We also learned about a magic word----YET!!

Please remember to have your child do their home reading (RED folders) and return the books next week.

Please return field trip forms ASAP.
