Learning Intention of Week: Terry Fox Learning 

This week, students spent time learning about the legacy of Terry Fox. They designed a shoe based off symbols and colours that represent Terry. We had discussions about fitting words and symbols surrounding hope, never giving up, and legacies. Students also watched several videos to inform their understanding of who Terry Fox was and why he is such a Canadian icon.
