We are beginning the study of 3 communities in Canada by exploring maps of Canada. We have lots of puzzles and books for the students to explore in the Montessori work period.
We had so much fun today using our bug research to create a story! We read "Diary of a Worm" and "Diary of a Spider". These stories were creative but also full of facts. Our stories will include many of the facts from our research but also be creative as diary entries in a day in the life of our bug.
Wednesday, we had a performance by Quest Theatre "As long as the Sun Shines" We learned about the different group of First Nations people from around Calgary and even a song to help us learn and remember. Students were very engaged learning about the history of Canada and the effects of settlers coming to Canada on the land and the First Nations people. Many students asked very thoughtful questions. We ended with all the kindergarten to grade 3's holding hands in 3 large circles and participating in a friendship dance.
