Highlights
We read about Terry Fox and watched a couple of short videos in preparation for the Terry Fox run next week.  We have also been working on identifying rhyming words.  In Science, we made predictions and tested objects to see which ones would be attracted by a magnet.  We learned that magnets attract objects made out of iron, nickel, steel or cobalt.

Due to Meet the Teacher conferences, there is no school for students Friday.

Important Information
This year we are once again proudly supporting The Terry Fox Foundation in its ongoing work to fund innovative and progressive cancer research programs. Our Terry Fox Run will be on September 28 at 2:00pm. Parents are welcome to join us at the school for the run.  You can make a donation easily online at http://www.terryfox.ca/PanoramaHills.  Thanks for your support!

Ask me about:
What strategies can you use to help you figure out a word when reading? (use the pictures, sound the word out, chunk the word or break it into smaller parts, read to the end of the sentence and then go back and think about what makes sense)
What did you learn about Terry Fox?

Will a magnet still attract a paper clip if you put tin foil over the magnet?
