This week our Classroom Champions Athlete Mentor Ryan Cochrane won the Canadian Male Swimmer of the Year. We read about this award and learned a few things. We learned;
- Ryan has won this award 8 times in a row.
- The award was an Inuit seal sculpture.
- Ryan’s coach also won an award (Canadian Male Swimming Coach of the Year)
Many students thought about how hard Ryan must have worked to earn this award. We are very proud of Ryan and we decided to write a congratulatory movie for him. We also made some personal connections to Ryan. We read that Ryan’s coach had died this year. A student in our class had just lost her grandma and she thought about how sad Ryan must have been and how hard it was for him to keep training.
We also wanted to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
