Tomorrow is Spirit Day! Today we heard a story read by Mr. Dyck called Harold and the Purple Crayon. We learned that Mr. Dyck loves the colour purple because it reminds him of Harold who demonstrates creativity, imagination, and problem solving in this story. We brainstormed as a class what characteristics and virtues we would like to develop in ourselves. Tomorrow they should wear their favourite colour and be ready to describe what that colour represents to them. For instance, Scotty loves the colour blue and to him it represents dreaming big and following your dreams. Others like the colour blue as well but the colour symbolizes different virtues. We will be reading books and discussing these characteristics over the next few weeks across the school. Here is an example of words that we came up with in our initial brainstorming session.
I can't wait to see the rainbow of colours tomorrow and hear about how the colours make the kids feel. It is also Healthy Hunger Fun Lunch day so those who ordered before Saturday Nov. 19 don't need to bring a lunch tomorrow. There will be another one upcoming in December, Head to the Healthy Hunger website to register for the next date!
