Social Studies: Peru
As explorers of the world, we are learning about what life is like in Peru so we can appreciate and understand other cultures. Students are rotating through a variety of centres such as Maps, Food Atlas, Traditional Clothing, Peruvian Markets, Artifacts from Peru, and Learn Some Spanish Words. They are documenting their observations, wonders and learning in their Visual Journals using a variety of methods (sketches, labels, charts, webs, lists, writing amazon animal riddles).
