City Planning Committees

Dear Mom and Dad,

This morning we spent some time with the Giant Floor Map. We talked about Canada's endangered species and how the National Parks protect them. We also talked about migration.

In the afternoon, we broke into teams of city planners, and began our planning process. We thought about what a city needs and then as a team, we chose buildings that our city needed. We drew a plan of our buildings. Tomorrow, we will hopefully begin building our cardboard city.  I wonder if there will be any challenges along the way?

Question of the day:
Ask me to tell you what building I am making and how it is important for a city.  Ask me what sort of details my building will have.

Have a great day!
