Unit #2 Begins...


We are beginning our next unit of study! One down… 5 more to go!  Our unit, “How We Organize Ourselves” focuses on community helpers.  We will be discussing their roles, their location in the community, and how cooperation amongst people in a community makes a safe and comfortable place to live.  We will even check out community helpers around the world.  We will investigate the similarities and differences of the different countries’ community helpers with ours here in the United States.

This first week we are just focusing on community helpers, in general.  We are reading nonfiction books that highlight different jobs in our community.  We have created a community helper flipchart with slides for brainstorming, graphing, and identifying community helpers and their roles, to help spice up our lessons! And best of all, we created community helper bingo cards so our students can learn and have fun at the same time!  You can check out the flipchart and the bingo cards on TPT, by clicking the pictures below!

We will continue adding all the different fun, inquiry based, activities in this unit, as we go.  Check back in for more ideas!
