Some Food For Thought

So, I know Mackenzie doesn't want me to post random stuff on here, but she sent this to me and I thought it interesting:

Fear

You aren't scared of the dark. You're scared of what's in it.

You aren't afraid of falling. You're afraid of the sudden stop at the end.

You aren't afraid of death. You're afraid of not being alive.

You aren't afraid of the people around you. You're afraid of what they can do.

You aren't afraid of loving. You're afraid of losing.

You aren't afraid of letting go. You're afraid of finding a new hold.

You aren't afraid of trying again. You're afraid of failing again.

Things You Can Do/Need To Do Over The Weekend

-Grade Sixes: Complete both math review packets
-Work on your Social Studies projects (First Nations, Ancient Civilizations)
-Mind Muser
-Both Math POWs
-Anything on the Jabberwocky blog (Click here to go to it)

Reminders:
-Bring your gym clothes and shoes on Monday (we will be having an outdoor gym period on Monday)
-Bring in your Terry Fox money!
-The Terry Fox walk is on Monday, so make sure to bring appropriate shoes
-Think about what you want to be in our Mock Trial. Make sure to write roughly a paragraph on why you should be whatever you wish to be (this is due by first recess on Monday)
