During our second semester we were welcomed into Harwin Elementary where we were able to immerse ourselves into the classroom environment. During this time we spent one day a week with a small group of learners developing a social studies program focusing on our students place. With my small group of grade 4/5 learners we spent our time together learning about natural resources and how they affect our place of Prince George.

This learning experience was so beneficial as it was our first major experience lesson planning and putting these plans into action. My lesson focused on Prince George and its natural resources and how these resources have shaped the community and the Indigenous peoples of both the present and future. My students were then able to take their findings and create a group model to represent a historical Prince George and what it may have looked like before industrialization. Here are some images of their final model.
