Who was Terry Fox?

'Rolling to 100' is the game we played today in math.  It is a cooperative game that uses problem solving to stimulate our thinking.  The winning team was finished in just over 10 minutes.  We played the game as part of our unit on creating patterns on the 100 chart and to build confidence when working with the 100's chart.

"Who was Terry Fox?"  I asked this question this afternoon and got some pretty interesting answers.  We read a book about Terry and added to our chart and then had a look at a few short videos that highlighted his struggle with cancer and his dream to raise money so other children would have hope when faced with cancer.  He was a remarkable Canadian and we will celebrate his life and legacy Friday with our school run.  Please consider donating a toonie for Terry.
