Travelling Back in Time

Earlier this month, the students had the opportunity to take a walking tour through High Park and learn how the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabe First Nations People survived off this land up until the late 1700s.  After this experience, the students found an interesting note from our classroom character Felicity the Fairy.
​

Upon finding this note, the students learned about how to measure circumference.  They also began creating questions to lead their own inquiry projects on the Annishinabe and Haudenosaune First Nations people who inhabited the High Park Area.

Students divided into groups to tackle different areas to research such as transportation, clothing, food and housing.  They started to learn about paragraph formation while recording information they had gathered on each topic.  In mathematics, the students learned about patterning while looking at traditional beading methods of the Annishinabe people.
