Community helpers Project!

Our kindergarteners are learning about Community Helpers. We will focus on helpers of our community such as a police officer, teacher, firefighter, mail carrier, bus driver, soldier, baker, chef, librarian, construction worker, military and more. This project will integrate reading, writing, math and social studies. Enjoy!There are seven parts to this project. Everyone must complete each part. All parts to the project are due by Thursday, April 2nd by 7:00 pm. Please include all parts in one email at one time to make it easy. This project will be graded under seven different areas.

Part I: On the attached activity sheet write 3-5 complete and detailed sentences explaining what a community is based on the videos you’ve watched. Draw and color a picture of your community. Points will be subtracted if it is not the student’s handwriting, handwriting is not neat, lines are not used properly and the drawing and colorinf is not their best work.

Watch videos and links to get background knowledge on first what a community is and then what community helpers are. Then, brainstorm over who you would really like to be.What is a community?https://youtu.be/lGC0zxgRNJQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NR7z9FbUf5k
