Travelling Education Kits
The Welland Museum now has excellent educational kits on Indigenous studies for grades 3 and 5, in both French and English.
These kits were created by a teacher, for teachers. They are curriculum-based materials and offer are a variety of activities to choose from, from languages to social studies to visual arts and more. The kits include hands-on activities and inquiry-based learning. They have been vetted by Indigenous educators and respectfully promote Indigenous studies.
We encourage you to contact the Museum to book a kit for your class.
