While you are studying community, get a map of your city for an easy bulletin board. Get large round head straight pins and attach a label. Make sure you have one for each student as well as yourself. Depending on the age of the students, you may need to send a note home information from the parents of you could have students fill out a form answering questions about where they live. As each child tells you where they live, stick a pin with their name or initials to mark the place. If your map shows landforms, you can discuss who lives near what landforms as you are marking the map. This bulletin board is a hit. Everyone is interested in who lives where. This would make a great beginning of the year "getting to know you" activity. When you are done, store the map and pins for the following year - as a bulletin board already to use!
