Marathon of Hope

Our inaugural Terry Fox Fun Run was an amazing success! The kids pushed through with no complaints and the parents did an amazing job of walking beside us, cheering us on and keeping us hydrated. We made headbands and banners and learned the difference between a superhero and real life heroes like Terry Fox and some of the people who inspire us daily.

Annyeonghaseyo!

Ok, so we had a bit of a hard time learning how to say hello in Korean but with the help of Danial, Sarah, Ji In and Seo Yeon, I think we finally got it! Annyeonghaseyo!

Thanks to Danial and his family for making everyone in the class a Korean flag to take home!

We're Going to Legoland!!!!

On October 12th, Kindergarten is going on a field trip to Legoland. Please sign and return the form that has gone home in your child's backpack by September 25th along with payment.

If you have a season pass and would like to chaperone, please send us an email.

Our Staycation in Malaysia

After our trip to Australia, we were a bit tired so we decided to stay closer to home and take a bus tour of Malaysia. Our tour guide was Tracy, Xin Tang's mom! She taught us all about the native fruits of the country and about some other landmarks and states we can explore outside of Johor. Thank you so much Tracy for all of the effort you put into your presentation.

And another big thank you to Santosh's mom for the gigantic flag that he came wrapped up in!

Terry Fox Run

Every year, millions of people in close to 25 countries participate in the Terry Fox Run. Terry is a true Canadian hero who continues to inspire generations after losing his leg to cancer and running across Canada in his Marathon of Hope in order to raise money for cancer research.

Come cheer us on this Wednesday September 20th to celebrate Terry in a fun run. Students are welcome to put on their high socks and headbands and wear their sporty clothes for the day. The run begins at 11:00 and will be around Emerald Lake (or as far as we can make it!)

Welcome Aboard!

It was clear skies during the first stop on our International Month travel itinerary. Our first stop was Australia with our captain, Melissa. Melissa is Archie's mom and she read us some of his favourite books from home and then we did some math with didgeridoo's, kangaroo's and boomerangs too!

Thanks for being our first Mystery Reader Melissa, you are as brave as you are lovely!

Happy 5th Birthday Santosh!

I hope you had an amazing birthday. Thanks to you and your family for the wonderful goodie bags. I know all the kids were so excited to get them, as was I.

And thanks mom for helping us during cooking today!
