LEARNING ABOUT A COMMUNITY















I pulled these pages (shown) out of our Social Studies Book to help the children understand community, using writing and art. The students were paired and assigned a question to discuss and research. The students wrote the question they were to answer on their writing/art paper, answered it using complete sentences, and had it proofed by the teacher. Students then drew and colored a detailed picture, covering all the space. The pages were compiled into a Community Booklet and put in the Reading Corner to be used as a resource all year.
