Canada

Our visit to Canada was relatively brief. We learned that Canada has a very diverse culture, but we focused mainly on the Inuit. We rowed Very Last First Time by Jan Andrews. We found several mini books, etc. to use in our notebooks/lapbooks at Homeschool Share.

Then, we headed off to Canada at EPCOT to wrap up our unit. The O Canada 360 film was fun and educational at the same time. Martin Short, a native Canadian, narrated it and kept all our attention throughout. The photography was breathtaking!

The boys also made soap carvings, which I thought came out pretty nicely. DS#1 carved a dolphin jumping out of the waves, and DS#2 carved a fish (I don't know why that picture keeps uploading sideways- it is the right way on my computer-- the fish's head is on the top of this photo).
