Social Studies

Last week we began our first unit in Social Studies. For the first part of the year we learn about First Nation Communities and Early Settlers (pioneers). We spend from now until around Christmas learning just about the First Nations. The kiddies are thrilled and very enthusiastic for this unit. As a special treat, some Grade Six kiddies came by today to share with us some of their research of two different First Nation Tribes. They had put together beautiful dioramas that gave us a great visual of village life. Seeing the older kids hard work really intrigued the wee ones and you could feel the interest growing in the room. I think everyone will really enjoy this unit and lots of great learning will take place!
