It's Terry Fox Time!

Hello Parents,

So far this year, the ES students and I have discussed the following topics during my classroom lesson times:  friendship, coping with teasing, learning to compromise, cyberbullying (2nd-5th), and I am now beginning to discuss perseverance. I use the context of the Terry Fox Run to talk to the kids about never giving up and trying even when things seem difficult.  On Nov 22, the Elementary School assembled in the Bosch Center to learn about Terry Fox and how they can help to raise money to continue funding research being conducted at the SQU Hospital here in Oman.  The fifth grade Ambassador group had fun helping me create the video you see linked below.  The theme this year is "DREAM BIG!"  See you on December 10th at the Terry Fox Run!
