Develop your students’ understanding of the past with one of the new activity kits at OISE Library: the “People Long Ago Resource Box”. Great for grades 1-3, this kit includes a variety of objects that you can use to show the pioneer way of life, such as a covered wagon replica and pioneer clothing replicas. You can discuss how clothes were different in the past by using the pioneer clothing replicas and the “Comparing Life Venn Diagram” included in the resource box.
The resource box also includes a number of activities and resources that will develop language, math, science, arts and craft, as well as social science skills. Develop your students’ language and social science skills with the reading comprehension cards and creative writing activities featured in the kit. You can also build a pioneer diorama using the reproducibles and instructions found in the activity guide.
Stop by the OISE Library to take a look at People Long Ago Resource Box in person. It is located on the Ground Floor coffee table, adjacent to the Circulation Desk. You can also view this item as well as other hands-on learning resources in the OISE Library K-12 Manipulatives Database.
