Grade 4 Social Studies: Treaty Essential Learnings

Grade 4 Social Studies: Treaty Essential Learnings

This Treaty focus will be implemented in the Grade Four Social Studies quite well, and has been a part of the current curricula.  My objective is to focus on the Treaty information and the impact that the Indian Act of 1876 had upon the First Nations of Saskatchewan. To do this, I plan to use the government Treaty Kit more, and obtain information from our liaison teachers in the school for materials, ideas and suggestions.  In particular, there are Smartboard activities , and interactive websites from FNIM.  Much of the Social studies content is on Saskatchewan, the Land, The People, interactions and interdependence of individuals, societies, cultures, and nations.  Fitting specific Treaty information and essential learnings can mesh with this subject, though many FNIM topics are also in the Language Arts and Science.  My goal is to focus study on the treaties themselves, the Indian Act of 1876, and its implications and results, and through various forms of evaluation, have results that show the students have a better understanding of this goal.
