Our grade four English classes took part in an online distance learning opportunity through the Royal Tyrrell Museum. It centered on their social studies curriculum strand dealing with Alberta’s geography and history. They learned all about the badlands and why so many dinosaurs are found in this area. The students really enjoyed it and found it very informative. #egssgrade4
