MFW ECC Highlights: Weeks 7 & 8 Canada

 

“Hello” from Canada and “Ainngai” (spelled ᐊᐃᓐᖓᐃ) from Inuktitut!

 

  Inuktitut or Eastern Canadian Inuktitut/ Eastern Canadian Inuit language is the name of some of the Inuit languages spoken in Canada.

 

The past 2 weeks we have been traveling through Canada. We took a look at Canada and the Inuit people or Eskimos of Northern Canada.  We found this to be very interesting and really enjoyed our studies….. here are our highlights! 

Geography:

• Canada on the map
• Identified the provinces of Canada
• Played a Canadian province game I found online.
• We watch a documentary of the Inuit people called Nunavut (Our Land).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Canadian Fun:

 

• Lapbook: Very Last First Time – This book takes place in Ungava Bay of Eastern Canadian. (lapbook printed from homeschool share)

• 

 

• Art – inspired by Very Last First Time.  Pointillist artistic style is art made up of hundreds of tiny dots of paint.

 

  

• Ice Sculpture- everyone’s fingers are dyed, but the girls had fun with it.  (idea from Expedition Earth)

 

• Canadian Baked Blueberry Dessert- We served ours with vanilla yogurt… yum!

 

Bible:

• Memory Verses: Matthew 5:11-12
• Window on the World people groups:
  • Garifuna and Greenland
• Missionaries and Character Traits: 
  • William and Catherine Booth: Creativity, Boldness, and Discipline

Did you know???

• They think Canada has almost 1,000,000 lakes!! One of them in Manitoba is named Pekwachnamaykoskwaskwaypinwanik Lake! It's a Native Cree name that literally means: "where the wild trout are caught by fishing with hooks." (www.ecokids.ca)
