You might remember on October 9th, Mrs. Tiffany Gunther had her 4th graders give us their definitions of what some running words meant. Their answers were both funny and creative! I loved them! Since then, the students have learned the true definitions. Mrs. Gunther said, "Now that they know the words, they wrote good luck notes to all of you using those same running terms as before."  

These well-wishes are fantasic. As always, feel free to comment--as the students, their parents and teachers will be looking at this post often!

By the way, Mrs. Gunthers students will be meeting her for the last 1.2 miles and running with her to the finish line, so a big GOOD LUCK to all of the students as well!

Thanks so much!

OOPS! As you can tell I am new at this blogging business. Hee...Hee...I wasn't repeating myself because you weren't listening, you see, I didn't think it went through the first time. I guess I was making sure you all knew how proud of you I am! :)

I,too,am proud of our 4th graders! I am also proud of teacher tiff, who does such a good job teaching children how to write. What a wonderful idea it was to include the kids on this blog! Besides learning the vocabulary, she is teaching them a new form of communication. I would love to read their personal narritives after they finish the race! Sincerely, Mrs. Boyle

So glad to see everyone comment, thank you! The students are great and their words of wisdom will definitely come in handy, in fact, I think I will print them out and keep them with me as I run...I may need to look at them when I hit mile 22! Can't wait to see everyone on Sunday and to see the kids welcome Mrs. Gunther and help her cross the finish line! ~Chera
