We have started our study of the regions of Canada through the Amazing Race Canada.  Please ask me what I know about my identity as a Canadian. What city did you land in with your Google Map latitude and longitude coordinates?  What is a region and what region did you land in? What do you know about your region already?

Homework:

Mathletics for 15 minutes.

In writing, we have been working on the importance of using figurative language.  Please give your parents an example of a simile, metaphor, personification and hyperbole.  Using these in our written work will certainly make it more interesting to read.

We are also continuing to work on recognizing various elements of maps (e.g. legends, compass rose, cardinal directions, latitude, longitude, etc.)
