Expedition Canada ~ A Northern Learning Experience


Ever wonder what a pingo is or what in the world is curling? Well, Expedition Canada, the latest downloadable unit study in the Download N’Go series by Amanda Bennett can tell you and your children this and so much more. Designed with young students (K-4th) in mind, each DNG unit is interactive, exciting, and engaging for children yet easy and manageable for parents to implement and use.

Lasting a week in length, Expedition Canada begins with a brief overview introduction to lapbooking which is such a fun way for kids to learn and for the information to stick as they can not only have something to show for all their work, but actually look back at the lapbook and remember what was studied. Notebook pages are also included and are a great way for your child to document all the information they will be learning about the great land to the North. Your child will spend 5 days creating, exploring and investigating.

The 5 day study is broken down into each individual day’s agenda which makes the planning  and implementation so easy for the busy home school mom.

Day 1: Where on Earth is Canada?

Day 2: Some of the Special Places in Canada

Day 3: A Bit of History

Day 4: Cool Things to Know About Canada

Day 5: Fun and Games in Canada

And finishing off the week is some “Fun Family Ideas”

Your children will be amazed with wonder as they learn about the Arctic Tundra, the bright Nothern Lights, Niagra Falls and the Rockies…

They will be engaged as they study the incredible animals of the territory such as caribou, moose, and polar bears. And feel the excitement of the sport of hockey.

Expedition Canada also contains great video clips, website links, and supplemental activities which create endless learning opportunities for your child. The recommended reading lists are included for each day with the books being easily obtained  from a local library which causes no extra expense for the home school family in a tight economy.

Geography, vocabulary, history, and science ~ it’s all in there and so much more… All the information in one central location.  No more struggling with research and time management to come up with a plan. Everything is done for you, and all at one incredible price.
