First we are going to do a quick overview of geography and then onto history, which will be a little different for each kidlet. I have also added a little science by learning more about a Canadian animal, bird, fish or plant for each province/territory.
First up our maritime provinces...
As a spine we are using these two books...
Hey Canada
The Kids Book of Canada
A good map of Canada to colour is also a must...
Here's how it goes..
1. Read about the province or territory together, talk about the provincial animals, plants, etc. Look at the map, find major cities, water features. Talk about friends that we might know that live there, anything we might already know.
2. Watch a couple of videos, either tourism type, major attraction or interesting event. Rick Mercer clips are favourites :)
3. Find and colour the province or territory and label it. Sweet Pea will also mark and label the capital city and any major water ways.
4. Add something else... printables for flags and animals... Pick an animal,, watch a video, make a craft, whatever floats your boat!
