Quebec History Mystery 21 Changes in Iroquoian Society 1500 and 1745
It's the next History Mystery! This is the third-to-last unit in the Cycle 2 Elementary free program! Want the other units? Check out my history resources page or head to my Quebec Homeschool Helps blog.
In this unit, learners will compare Iroquoian life between 1500 and 1745. They'll explore changes in the population, territory, and daily life of the first peoples of Quebec.
As always these units come with a list of the progressions that are covered in them. In this unit, the progression under the competency 'Knowledge related to change in a society or territory' is used: Iroquoian society between 1500 and 1745.
This unit comes with only one QR code for research - and learners will need to so some serious detective work to solve the mystery questions! (But don't worry - the answers are simple to find!)
The comprehension questions in this unit will help cover the progressions and show your student's understanding of the changes in the society. Although the questions cover the basics, your learners might want to explore the site further and learn more - feel free to travel beyond the page and dig into learning!
Learn Quebec also has made a really neat, free-to-print board game for describing changes in the Iroquoian society at this time! You can check it out here. It's a great way to reinforce what you've learned or use in place of worksheets if your kiddo isn't a fan. And remember - you could always answer the questions in these units orally with your learners - there is no need to always write everything down.

Free Counting to 10 Apple Math Center and Craft
Free Counting to 10 Apple Math Center and Craft
Have you ever tried to get preschoolers or kindergarteners interested in counting? It can be a challenge! That's why I hope that these Count, Craft & Learn! Centers will help you - whether you're a classroom teacher or a homeschooler!
Included in these free centers are a few elements. You can pick and choose what you'd like to use in your own classroom. The important thing here is that kids are learning to associate the symbol of a number with the meaning of a number of objects - and they're learning to count too!
The first thing you'll find is an apple tree mat with a place for counting cards on the side. The cards that go with it feature two important things - a number and a ten frame representing that number.
Kids can use the included apple counters, or you can use the counters you have on hand. They will choose a card, put it on the mat, then count out that many apples on the tree. Alternatively, you could also put a random amount of apples on the tree and have them find that matching number card.
The next element adds a bit of fun to your lesson or center time. It is some very cute clipart of apple-picking kids. After counting out their apples, kids can use these pieces to 'pick' the apples. Adding a playful element like this to centers for this age always makes the lesson so much more memorable.
Finally, there is a craft. Kids will glue any amount of apples (up to 10) onto a tree and write that number.
I have also included a bonus page for kids to practice tracing numbers - this can help a lot if they don't know how yet!
You can download this freebie by clicking on the link below. All I ask is that when sharing this resource, to please share this link to my blog, NOT the Google Drive link. You may share copies of this paper resource for FREE so long as my website name remains on the resource pages it is included on.
Thank you and ENJOY learning and teaching!

History Mystery 16: New France Around 1645 Government and Important People
New France Around 1645 Government and Important People
Welcome to another Quebec History Mystery! Want to catch up on other units? See them all here!
Your learners have learned all about the people living, working, and trading in New France around 1645. now it's time for them to learn all about the government - in other words, the king of France!
In this unit, kids will cover the last few progressions under the first section of the Geography, History and Citizenship Education progressions for elementary cycle 2 (grades 3 and 4). These include learning about the government, the company, the engage, as well as some important people in Quebec's history.
As always this unit comes with a list of progressions covered (use my progression checklist to keep track!) and some easy-to-use QR codes for simple research using the very awesome Learn Quebec website.
I have also included some simple comprehension questions to show your child's learning in portfolios and to review what you've read on the website. Sometimes my kids and I like to use these after we've read, other times we like to use them as a sort of scavenger hunt with the QR codes, combing the pages for information.
As always, you can choose to have your learners answer the questions in writing, orally, or have them dictate their answers to you while you write.
To cover the progression that includes naming important people in new France around this time, I've included a very simple project in this unit. This includes writing about two ways certain people were important to the history of Quebec around this time. There are 4 different options to choose from and I have included sheets to make it easy and polished looking too!
These 'VIPs' include Jeanne Mance, Samuel de Champlain, Laviolette and de Maisonneuve - names listed in the progressions, but also names your kids might be familiar with from signs around town.
