Curriculum Overview
When you completed Wonder of Geography unit 1, your child had expanded their mapmaking and geographical awareness from your house to your neighborhood, into your town, city, and up to the region you live in. This unit will pick up where you left off, and guide your child to take ever expanding steps to gain an understanding of the geographical landscape and history of the province or state you live in. In Grade 5, geography encompasses the entire country you live in. Your child will learn about the European explorers who first came to the land you live on, and they will learn about the meeting, cooperation, and conflict that occurred between the Europeans and the Indigenous people. If you are in Canada, this unit will teach about the Indian Residential Schools. Depending on where you live, you will share the facts about the Indian Reservations that were established and the consequences of uprooting an entire culture. These lessons will allow your child to practice coming to their own judgements and opinions about the treatment of Indigenous people, and how forgiveness and healing takes place.
