Hello Explorers!
Social Studies
Everyone did a great job this week as we packed our backpacks and explored our city. Although we left our shoes at the door we used Google Earth to fly around and peek into every corner of St.Catharines. Continue your journey at home using Google Earth but don't forget to ask for your parents help before downloading anything!
Parents,
Its been a busy week in our class as we explored the local community. The students took an indepth look at the city of St.Catharines using the tool Google Earth. This is a great tool to introduce your children to maps. This activity covers the grade one expectation to "read maps of familiar areas in their local community" (The Ontario Curriculum: Social Studies, pg.35). Parents have some fun with your son/daughter, download google earth and let the students take you on a magic carpet ride around the city.
