Please have your child discuss the 3 options they have, and help them decide which one they should focus on. Please keep in mind that all materials must be provided from home.

SOCIAL STUDIES PROJECT

The students of LC 5 are working in groups to research each of the regions in Canada. As a class, we've already studied the Interior Plains Region. Each group is now working on one of the following five regions:

- Appalachian Region
- Great Lakes - St. Lawrence Region
- Canadian Shield Region

Please discuss with your child the region in which their group is researching and encourage them to brainstorm at home ways in which they may be able to represent the information they've discovered. Any materials out of the ordinary should be provided from home. Below is a list of suggested materials that may be purchased at any dollar store:
