Terry Fox Day!

Here we are before heading out for the Terry Fox Run & Walk:

Poetry!

In English Language Arts, students wrote a free form poem about themselves in the shape of a fingerprint. What beautiful identity poetry!

From the Math Department...

This morning we learned about factors and then practiced finding all the factors of a number.

Terry Fox!

• 
  
• Ness Middle School will be participating in its annual Terry Fox Walk/Run on Friday, September 29^th at approximately 10:45 am (rain date: Monday, October 2^nd).  Students and teachers will be walking or running for approximately 45 minutes in our community to celebrate Terry Fox and the Marathon of Hope.  At Ness, we believe that this is an excellent way to foster a sense of belonging and unity by participating as a school toward a great cause: cancer research.  
• 
  
• Terry Fox said, “When I started this run, I said that if we all gave one dollar, we'd have $22 million for cancer research, and I don't care man, there's no reason that isn't possible. No reason!” Our school fundraising goal mirrors that of Terry's; for each student to bring in one dollar to support the Terry Fox Foundation.  Should your family choose to make a donation, it can be handed into your child's homeroom teacher at any time this week. Thank you for your support!

Students should remember to wear Ness colours (green, yellow and black) and be dressed for their walk or run outside. They should also bring water bottles with them.

Rules of the Classroom Library!

As a class, we came up with four rules for our classroom library.
Students have signed their page to show that they are ready to follow the rules. Parents are also asked to sign.
Once students have handed in their signed page, they may continue to borrow books from the Classroom Library.
Happy Reading!

Reminder!

Students: remember to look spiffy for Photo Day tomorrow!

Collaborative Art!

Each student created a square of art:

We then assembled it together to create a classroom piece of artwork!
