The+Canadian+Community

=The Canadian Community= ===In Social Studies we have been exploring and learning about our local community, Morris, MB - another community in Manitoba, and Singapore - where our friend Ms. Krochak lives. Now we would like to explore more about Canada as a country, what it means to be Canadian, how Canada compares to other countries and what Canadians have in common as well what makes us each unique.===

First we started a postcard project in which each student asked at least one person they know in Canada to send us a postcard. We brainstormed some questions that they could answer on their postcard. Here is a map of the places our postcards have come from and some information we have learned about their community. You can click on the - to see more of Canada and click and drag to see other parts of the map. Double click on the blue flag to see what we have learned about that community.
