Canada's Arctic

Dear Grade Fives!    

     

Today you will explore the arctic and then view a video clip, from 1949, on building an igloo.

First, please explore the following pictures of our Canadian Arctic (here). I would like you to spend several minutes looking carefully at the pictures. This is one of Canada’s major landscapes. Click on individual pictures to see them in more detail.

Second, watch the following video clip on building an igloo.

Enjoy!

Love, Mrs. French
