The highlight from December is the completion of our Gingerbread theme and the many different Gingerbread stories we read. We studied and compared the different characters, refrains and endings in the stories. What fun it was to discover that the gingerbread man was not always eaten at the end of the story!
We continue to walk across Canada to learn all about the symbols and important facts about each province and territory. We have started exploring the three territories and will know it as the Great White North. We learned why Yukon's nickname is "Land of the Midnight Sun" and talked about the community of Old Crow. One interesting fact we discovered about the Yukon is that it does not have a mammal to represent the territory. The Gold Rush has the students panning for gold in the classroom. We are now entering the Northwest Territories and can hardly wait to see what we will learn next! We'll keep you updated as we go along.
