Reminder:  Friday is the Terry Fox Run!   

EHS Terry Fox Run: Friday, October 2

Wear your Eric Harvie School colours (blue & orange) on Friday, October 2.  This year is the 40th Anniversary of Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope and Eric Harvie School is proud to be continuing the legacy of one of our greatest heroes. Please join us and support this wonderful cause by donating to: http://www.terryfox.ca/EricHarvieSchool. Together, we can all make a difference! #terryfoxschoolruns @terryfoxfoundation

 

Bring you ‘toonies for Terry’ and drop them off at your school entrance door every morning during the week.  Eric Harvie School raised over 4000.00 last year and even more in previous years.  Let’s reach for that again this year!

 

This morning we focused on literacy. The grade 3 students completed their last SLA and the grade 4s continued with their story prompts. We began our story planner to help us in the process as we learned to summarize the books we have been reading. We are working towards creating a book zap (a summary) or a poster that explains the book we have been reading!

Today was Orange Shirt Day!

We wrote some encouraging words and tied them to our class string!

  

We continued to explore stories of residential schools and began to talk about what the difference is between an Author's Purpose and a Reader's Purpose. The example we did was the book, When We Were Alone by David A. Robertson.

Here is a glimpse at some of our work:
