Grade 2

In grade 2 we have been focusing on finding out information about communities around the world. To begin with each student chose a city anywhere in the word and they did some research on it. They needed to locate it on a map, describe the types of houses there, write down it's current temperature, describe what continent it is on, say what language they speak and write down any interesting facts about it. They were really excited to research about a different city and they found out some interesting facts. We have continued this type of research by looking at 'letters' written from children from around the world. In the letters the children describe their home and what a day in their lives looks like. We have been comparing a day in their lives with a day in a life of the a child in Canada. At home you can discuss the differences between the lives of someone that lives in Canada and someone that lives in another country. Focus on housing, temperature, transportation, languages, flags and continents.
