Moving Mountains

Today we worked more on our map of Canada. We talked about the differences between a country/province/city and worked through these vocabulary terms. Students identified different provinces and territories and we labelled our map.
Afterwards we watched a video showcasing the mountains; many students were making personal connections to the mountains - activities, vacations etc. We then looked at the shapes of the mountains and compared them to different 3D figures we've been working on during Montessori work period. Students then worked on their own and with their older buddy to use 3D nets to create pyramids and cones to add to our map, as mountains.
