Wednesday, July 1st marks the anniversary date (1867) of the union of the British North America provinces. This statutory holiday means fireworks, festivals, concerts and parades all across Canada! (sort of.....check out what's online this year).
It's a proud day for Canadians to celebrate their heritage so why not get your ESL students talking about Canada Day too!
The world needs BEESand
there's been a lot of buzz about them lately! Did you know that in
North America, one third of the food we consume wouldn't exist without
bees and other pollinators?
Unfortunately,
the global population of bees and other key pollinators is dropping
dramatically and scientists are struggling to understand the causes,
impacts and potential solutions. A great thing to get your ESL students
talking about might be the sort of changes that are affecting the bee
population (e.g., loss of habitat, pesticides and even viruses)!
