We have been delving into Canada after our Road Trip to Canada. Lakeshore Learning laminates for cheap 40 cents a foot? I wanted to try something different, I call it a "Learning Mat" which is basically a cheap poster with interactive material that has been laminated. This Learning Mat of Canada has the names of the countries, capitals and flowers in different places on the mat, the child would use a wet erase marker to connect the correct fact to its country. Of course, then you can use the learning mat to draw your own flowers like Lil A is doing, or animals from the country. Lil A painted her Canadian flag. Once the paint is already out for our school work, it easy to give our Beloveds a chance at free time with paint. We have two different level study pages based on the Fundamental Needs of Human, which states that every human has fundamental needs. They are broken in two two categories- Spiritual and Material. As our bodies are made out of spirit and matter. When these two needs are not taken care of, we are off balanced. In the picture below Z Man is filling out how Canada balances spiritual and material need. He picks just one material need and he picked shelter, then he writes down all the different forms of shelters. Here S Man and Big A fill out two forms of the country they are studying.

Hello my friends! Here in Ontario, we have one week left of classes. At the end of the school year, I like to take some time to discuss Canada Day with my students, and do some fun literacy review with the no-prep printables below! For the age group I teach, their perceptions of Canada Days past can be quite entertaining: Canada Day is clearly a memorable experience for even our youngest students, whether it be of fireworks, time with family or friends during the day. This is a great time to review what we have learned about the structure of stories. Whether

Please click on the map image or here for a full size version. The map of Canadian First Nations pre-European contact has only been hanging on Allan Yerxa’s office wall for a few days, but already the response has been “wow.” “I think (the map) is really important. It helps us with our self-identity. It’s important for the First Nations people to know where they come from, because they’re missing all that right now,” said Yerxa, who serves as lands and resources coordinator for Couchiching First Nation, and as such does a fair amount of historical research. Yerxa provided mapmaker Aaron Carapella with information of First Nations in the northwest area of Ontario. Carapella said he relied heavily on telephone conversations with people like Yerxa, along with cultural centres and tribal museums, and accessed genealogical Web sites with military and missionary reports to gather his information for his map of Canada. “I always verified the spellings with the actual tribal source before I confirmed it to be on the map,” he said. Originally, Carapella, who has already created a similar map of tribes in the United States, was not going to do a Canadian map. He spent 14 years, working on and off, on the U.S. tribal map and had hoped to encourage a counterpart in Canada to take on the project. But when that fell through, Carapella decided the map was too valuable to let slide. The end result of Carapella’s Canadian research is the locations of 212 bands identified in their own Indigenous language. The map is also peppered with photos of leaders and everyday people. “It was too difficult in some circumstances to narrow down what an autonomous group was,” said Carapella, “so I tried to group it into autonomous people.” Logistics were also a concern, he said, pointing to British Columbia and along the coast. “In order to make them all fit, even on a large map to make it visual … I couldn’t break it down to really small autonomous groups,” he said. “I tried to keep it uniform.” But Carapella is still confident that a year’s worth of research into Canada’s Indigenous people has produced a “pretty comprehensive” map. “I’m completely open to people making suggestions for me to make corrections,” he said, noting that he had “many, many” revisions for the U.S. map. “This is not my map. This is a map for the people.” Carapella, who is Cherokee Indian from Oklahoma, became interested in a tribal map of the U.S. when his grandparents introduced him to his culture and the powwow circuit as a youngster. “I always liked to hang things on the wall … and I wanted to pick up maps of the tribes, but there were never any really good maps,” he said. “As I got a little bit older … I came up with the idea to draw my own map. It became more concrete as time went on.” He began the project at 19 years of age. Now, with Canada and the United States plotted, Carapella plans to move on to Mexico and then finish up with Alaska. “I don’t really recognize the borders between countries because I have such an intense knowledge of Native history,” he said. “My grand design … I would like to have a map at least of all of North America … leaving out provincial lines and state lines and country lines, just a map of what it looked like before contact.” Carapella also hopes to do Canada and the U.S. in more detail, entertaining the idea of creating an old-fashioned driving atlas, where he can focus on specific areas of each country. Carapella would like to see the maps used in classrooms at all levels of education as well as hung up in band and tribal administrative offices. “It’s good to know that Turtle Island was occupied by First Nations people since time immemorial. We’ve always been here,” said Yerxa. Carapella has the Canada and U.S. maps available separately as well as together, with over 750 historic First Nations plotted on the combined map. Carapella has produced a video that can be seen on YouTube. He also has a web page.
