Socials with a little LA

In Social Studies this year we are learning to research, watching videos, reading text books, searching online information, and building lap books. We are also incorporating learning about family history with learning about immigration.

We started the year off watching a documentary of Canada for review of the provinces and learning about people's stories from each province. Then we decided on starting with our Scottish heritage. We talked to Great-Grandpa Campbell to make sure we were on the right track and then jumped into researching online and gathering books from the library to start our lap-books.
