Social Studies

Hello everyone and welcome back!

Mrs. Pederson has left to embark on her new career and I will be resuming Social Studies with the Grade 4 students. We've just started Chapter 3, titled, "Natural Resources In Your Life". Today, the students began a title page which includes their name, the name of the chapter, 2 inquiry questions (found on p. 67) and pictures of natural resources found in Alberta. This will be due on Thursday, January 8.

On the back of the title page sheet that I handed out, you will find a list of "I Can" statements. Chapter 3 is divided into 4 parts and the students should be able to confidently respond to these statements at the end of each section. We will be working on the "Leduc Discovery" for all of this week and then moving on to the importance of agriculture next week.
