Our Kindergarten class has been busy with our inquiry unit on communities. Our Kindergarten classes took part in a mail exchange program with different schools across Canada. A few weeks ago, our Kindergarten class filled out an information sheet about our school and city community and sent it off to other schools. In turn, we have been receiving mail from various schools across Canada about the school community that they belong to. It has been a rich learning experience learning about different communities and how they might be similar or different from ours. We have been using Google Earth to search their school and see what their school looks like and what kinds of things are around their school community. It has also provided a good opportunity to talk about how mail is delivered and what needs to be included when sending mail to other places.
Family Community Houses
Each student drew a picture of their family members and then built houses to put their pictures in. They are currently displayed on our bulletin outside our classroom - they turned out great !
