Mrs. Bradley's Grade 2
We were very fortunate to have had the Canadian Geographic floor map of Canada at our school last week. It was so large, that it filled our entire Launch Pad! We took the opportunity to learn about places around Canada, talk about the distances from Calgary to the 3 communities we've been studying and get to know Canada a little better. We started our lesson by trying to see if we could all fit in Hudson's Bay. We didn't. But we found Churchill, Manitoba, which is famous for the polar bears that live there. ![]() Once we got a few reference points like North, South, East and West, students were off to explore Canada on their Scavenger Hunt! Some of the highlights of our exploring:
-Discovering Halifax was farther away from Calgary than Iqaluit. -Finding a place called Tuktoyuktuk. -Learning about the 5 lakes that are so big, they're called the Great Lakes. -Naming islands from Canada's north. -Finding a place called Cow's Head in Newfoundland. (And that Mrs. Bradley has been there!) -Finding so many lakes in Canda.
