As our Structures unit wraps up, we will be commencing our second Social Studies unit shortly. Living and Working in Ontario will cover the following big ideas:
- physical and municipal regions of Ontario
- relationships between the natural environment, land use, and employment opportunities
- affects of land and resource use on the environment
This unit will encourage the development of :
- spatial skills
- extracting information from variety of maps
- constructing maps
- drawing conclusions and looking for connections
To support your child's learning, consider the following activities:- examine maps of Ontario
- discuss how land is used in your community for recreation, commerce, housing, conservation, etc.
- look through newspapers or online resources to find examples of people acting as environmental activities/ stewards.
- discuss the ways we use and enjoy natural resources and why it is important to protect the environment.
- identify ways that you already work to protect the environment
