Learning through GAMES?

Hello again students, and parents,

Students guess what we will be doing today!? Can you use your reading and decoding skills to look for clues in the text? That's right learning through games!

To complete this activity you will need to recall information from our last social studies class to the provinces and territories of Canada.

When you are ready proceed to the game and begin playing. Please ensure you are playing in the practice mode only with the labels off. Once you feel like you have a good handle on this feel free to progress throughout the study, test and strict test levels.

Parents, have no fear this seamless integration of technology within the classroom is up to snuff with the ministry standards. From the social studies curriculum for grade 2
SOC.2.2.2.1
By the end of Grade 2, students will: recognize that the world is made up of countries, continents, and regions, including Canada in the continent of North America;  

In simple terms this means the students should be able to identify the regions of Canada, which is located in North America (we covered this in a previous class). To identify the regions (provinces and territories), students will work through this game to ensure they are familiar with where the provinces and territories are. Then when they are ready they can increase the difficulty of the game. (remove lables, colours, and the help features.

Happy playing,

Mr. T.Yando
