As part of our social studies program, your child has been learning about
Learned
to Know
Know
Canada. Your child learned ways that he or she can identify the main
physical features of the country, its natural resources, and its climate.
You can help your child by supporting our classroom learning.

Here are some things you can do to reinforce the message of this lesson

and our related learning activities.
• Ask your child to tell you about the lesson and what he or she
learned from it.

• Use the internet to review with your child a map of Canada and
the importance of its location.

• Watch a video about Canada, its major physical features, and its
importance as a world-leading industrial economy.
• Show your child different photographs of Canada to determine if

the photos match his or her ideas about the country. Search for
geographical clues in the photos to see if he or she can guess
which part of Canada the photos might represent.

Thank you for being a partner with us
in the education of your child!

Canada is the most educated country in the world.
Research has shown that children with involved parents score
better than others whose parents don't have a role in their
education process. Help your child stay brilliant!
