Terry Fox . . . A Real Canadian Hero

 Last week we talked about Terry Fox and his Marathon of Hope.  We started by listing what we already knew about him.  Many of us knew all sorts of things.  We tried to watch a video about him but it kept buffering so we decided to look at some pictures and do so some reading instead.  After we recorded three facts that we had learned about him on a running shoe.  We posted our shoes in the front foyer for everyone to see.  Here is what some of us learned about Terry Fox. .








Jahan - learned that Terry Fox was a Canadian hero
Jack and Henry - learned that he wanted to raise $1.00 for every Canadian
Brasen - learned that he had a dream
Sarina - learned that he wanted to find a cure for cancer
Ken - learned that he was very brave
Lexi - learned that he had cancer
Arthur- learned that he started to run across Canada
Hannah - learned that he didn't give up
Sophia- learned that his run was called "The Marathon of Hope"

This week we plan to do some running in honour of Terry Fox.  We have been busy collecting donations to give to the Cancer Foundation.

Do you run in the Terry Fox Run?
