It will not be nice out, so please dress your child for the weather.
Today we watched a film on Terry Fox, found on the Terry Fox Foundation website. The children discussed the qualities that Terry Fox possessed that makes him such an inspirational leader (still today!)
Since our big question this year is about change, while we watched the video we thought about how being diagnosed with cancer changed or effected Terry's life story. Did he response positively or negatively to this event? How did he take a negative situation and do something positive with it? How did a regular kid become such a national hero?
Each child put a sticker and tattoo into their communication folder. Have a discussion, about the Terry Fox Run. Why is it an important legacy? How will it help others today and in the future? What will motivate your child to do their best tomorrow? Help you child fill out the sticker, to wear tomorrow. Ideas:
I run for:
-a family member/friend who has struggled with cancer
-Terry Fox (a hero)
- A cure for cancer
-People everywhere
