Curriculum Overview
The goal of this unit is to give your child a broad feeling for the country you live in. This will include a feeling for the size, shape and geographical features of the land you live on. Your child will learn about the types of natural resources that are important to different regions of your country. Your child will deepen their understanding for the First Peoples of the land you live on, learning about the lifestyles adapted to the different regions, as well as their value systems. The unit will then include stories of early explorers, their perspectives and values in relation to the First People and the resources on the land. Through biographies of explorers and early settlers, a feeling for the immigrant experience will unfold. The relations between First People and Settlers will be explored, and government treatment of First People will be a focus. With a focus on mapmaking, stories and writing assignments, the country you live in will come alive for your child, and a feeling for the history of the past will help create a vision for the future.
