In language we continued our independent reading program and our read aloud of the novel, "I Am Malala." We continued to discuss our first inquiry topic, which is overcoming challenges, and focused on Terry Fox. We now have some quotes by Terry up on our window to remind us of his strength.
The students continued to work on independent writing and we began to write personal narratives as well. In science the grade 6s continued their inquiry on planets, while the grade 5s worked on their life-sized posters of the different human body systems.

I thought it was very touching. It is about Stephen Hawkins. He has a disease that will slowly paralyze him and he has 2 years to live. But he doesn't give up and faces all these different challenges, like not being able to talk. That is what I think.
