This has allowed us to explore the details of some basic mapping skills and is also a way to relate their learning to real life experiences. Many of the students have been actively tracking and recording the location and data of the hurricanes, as well as checking the news about these at home. Much of this has been a chance to relate to PLACE, which will be one of our themes this year. We also continued on exploring what we knew about Canada and starting to look at some of the information that we will be building upon around the theme of Canada’s geography and history. Next week we will continue to look at Canada’s geography and possibly extend our mapping skills, depending on the hurricanes.
