Are you ready to explore this fantastic new social studies resource and delve into our local history? Last year, each elementary school received a class set of BC Nelson Social Studies Grade 4 print and digital resources to support the teaching of the Social Studies curriculum. This half day (note early start) workshop will provide an opportunity for Grade 4 teachers to deepen their understanding of Nelson Socials, especially Chapter 1: Land and First Peoples. In addition to looking at the Teacher’s Guide and the Online Teaching Centre for lesson ideas on natural resources and trade, we will share some information and resources about the beautiful and bountiful land we call home: Secwepemcul’ecw. Because this session is about the land, we hope to meet in-person at the HGEC to experience a number of engaging hands-on activities that you can use with your students. Limit of 30 participants.

Trudi Nielsen, Tricia Persad, Pamela Thomson and Andrea Wallin are District Co-ordinators based at the H.G.E.C.
