Global Communities
The curriculum states that by the end of grade 2 students will...
... compare selected communities from around the world, including their own community, in terms of the lifestyles of people in those communities and some ways in which the people meet their needs
...describe some ways in which two or more distinct communities have adapted to their location, climate, and physical features
...gather and organize information and data about some communities' locations, climate, and physical features, and the ways of life of people in these communities
In order to fulfill these expectations, here are just a few of the
activities, stories, and projects the students worked on.
Arctic Communities
After reading the story, 'The Lonely Inukshuk', the students built
their own Inukshuks.
After reading all sorts of stories and using the ipads and computers to research
arctic communities, the students worked together to create a mural illustrating
an arctic community.
They also recorded in words or pictures what life is like in Windsor
compared to life in an Arctic Community.
Hot, Dry Communities
Take a look at some of the stories we read to learn
about communities that are hot and dry...
After reading about a community in Kenya, students designed their
own Ndebele house, just like those seen in Kenya.
We will be studying rain forest communities next....stay tuned!!
