In Grade 2, students study the Canadian North. We've been exploring artifacts from the Glenbow Museo Kit, "Inuit: A Living People". We discussed materials, construction and function as an introduction to the objects. Artifact handling was discussesd and each of us had an opportunity to have the object in our hands, look at it up close and imagine its purpose, feel its weight and design... Imagine the person that used it last...
Later, we drew the objects.
