Our first Social Studies Unit is about Neighbourhoods/Community Helpers. Students will learn about the different kinds of neighbourhoods that exists, most notably City vs. Country (Rural). As luck has it I grew up, and my family still resides, in a small rural community in Ontario. We live on a gravel road, have a big pond with wildlife and live in a neighbourhood with many farms surrounding us. Thus our neighbours have given my nephews and neice a chance to visit their farms. I will be sharing many pictures with the students this week, and I've included some below.We will also discuss what types of buildings, animals etc we see in a city. But of course cities change from country to country, place to place. If you have any pictures of the landscape or the neighbourhood you live in either in Seoul or in another country please send it to me via my email. I will post the pictures on our blog and also show the students how cities/places vary from place to place.
Thanks for your help,
Enjoy a taste of a rural community in Ontario, Canada!
