Nov. 26

Today we did some drawing and writing about our favourite Dr. Coffin spirit day. We were excited about Crazy Hair day and the Shave-a-lid event. 8 students shaved their heads over the lunch hour. They raised more than $5600 for Kids Cancer Care.

In gym, the high school students from Sir Winston Churchill came to lead us in some games. We played "What time is it Mr. Wolf?", and different versions of "Red Light, Green Light".

At the end of the day we had a class meeting to talk about some problems we've been having with our whole group learning times. We have been finding that some of us are having trouble listening and staying focused when we are in the large group. We have decided to spend some time working in our smaller class groups so that we can practice our group listening, sharing, and participation skills. We will be moving back to working as a large group when we are ready.

Tomorrow is Fresh Air Friday. We will be working in the Whispering Woods. Please make sure you have snowpants and snowboots. We will be walking in the snow! 
Rafiki bracelets will be on sale again tomorrow for students wishing to place an order. 

Our helper on Monday is: Aanya
