We have been working on a Venn diagram to compare our family structure, origin and celebrations.
We are creating our family trees. Some students still have not brought in their photos and the worksheet to record all the names of their family members. Please make sure that your child(ren) know(s) the full name of each member. Students are also encouraged to bring in the names written in the original language in addition to the names written with the Roman Alphabet.
Through this activity, students will be further compare the structure of their families and start discussing the countries of personal and familial significance.
Some ideas to support at home:
1. Locate the countries of personal and familial significance on the map.
2. Share the family albums and photos, especially those that depict the family traditions and celebrations to discuss how these practices have changed over time.
3. Discuss different family structures and origins of their friends and cousins and how these differences make each family unique.
4. Discuss local celebrations and how diversity in Canada brings many different people together to different celebrations.

Grade 1 - natural and built features in our community.
Students will learn to describe how people make use of natural and built features of, and human services in, the local community to meet their needs, and what might happen if these features/services did not exist.
Some discussion ideas at home.
1. What is made by the nature and by people around you? Why do we need them and how do we use them?
2. What happens if we don't have garbage bins / safety fences / natural parks, etc.?
3. What can we do to make our community a better place? What more natural and built features do we need around us to make it better?
For the vocabulary list of this unit, please click here.

Students are looking at the lives of the Wendat people and this coming week, we will be starting with those of the Anishinabe people to eventually be able to compare how they were similar and different.
