Visit from the First Lady of Canada

Fifth graders have been studying Canada as part of their social studies curriculum.  We had a special visit from America' "first lady of Canada." Julie Jacobson is the wife of the United States' ambassador to Canada.  Mrs. Jacobson treated us to a slideshow in the library and answered questions about Canada.  We learned that Canada has 10 provinces and three territories, that the majority of its residents live close to the U.S. border, and other interesting facts about our neighboring country.
