They next time your dropping or picking up your Division 14 student, check out the new poster on our door. Division 14 is starting a kilometre club for our classroom! I've done with many of my other classes and I think Division 14 students will enjoy this.
Now that the yucky November weather is over, every Tuesday we will be heading outside near the end of the day to see how much we can run. We will run as long as it is safe to do so, even if it's raining a bit. Students run laps around the grade 6/7 field and collect popsicle sticks for each lap. At the end of the time, I record the number of laps students ran and we keep track on the poster on our classroom door. Notice that we keep track in increments of 5 kilometres. Keeping track of every kilometre would be WAY too much work. As soon as students have ran 5 kms, they get a checkmark next to their name. Many of the students are excited and inspired by the challenge of running for as long as they can. We talked about you can walk if you have to, but the point is 1) to keep moving forward and 2) do the best you can. We look forward to seeing how many kilometres students can run by the end the year (the record is 130km!)
