ReplyDeleteYou are welcome, Mya. I'm so glad the websites are helpful.
ReplyDeleteI'm struggling with the new Social Studies (Grade 6) curriculum in terms of finding resources to support the expectations and narrowing the broad topics. Anything you might suggest would be greatly appreciated. The above lesson plan was helpful. Thanks...
ReplyDeleteThe Heritage Minute videos (and the history provided on their website) were extremely helpful for us teachers and for the students. You can find most of our web resources on the Social Studies Symbaloo page (link on a tab above), and on my youtube channel under Canadian Videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWZwIpvGQXw&list=PLqcMNnfdksMuSw4mgl4zcbWVyS3TRMtX-
