Hi guys! This year my boys and I will be learning all about Canada. Last year we studied world geography so we're excited to learn about our home land.
 | ||
| Here's a schedule I made and followed loosely. |
What we learned:
- Canada is on the continent of North America
- It has 10 Provinces and 3 Territories
- All about the Canadian flag (its origin, what the colors represent, and the adequate of the flag)
- Canada is a melting pot (multicultural)
- Main languages (French and English)
- We learned the national anthem
- Canadian symbols (beavers, maple leaf, etc.)
- Bodies of Water (Oceans, and lakes)
Map:
The boys colored and labeled a map of Canada. They also identified major bodies of water.
Canada's official colors and red and white.
Red represents war and the white represents peace.
National Anthem:
Since were homeschoolers I realized that my boys will never be exposed to what the national anthem sounds like. We listened to a few versions using YouTube and did a fill in the blank worksheet.
Canadian Symbols:
Directed Drawing of a Maple Leaf.
We read all about beavers using this great book and made a beaver lodge.
Books:
Videos:
A video about beavers and how they build their lodges.
