Community Helpers

Community Helpers 

No School Tuesday, March 1, 2016

This week we will continue our unit about Community Helpers. Here are the theme concepts for this unit:

• A community is a group of people with something in common.
• There are people in our community that help us
• Everybody contributes to the welfare of the community
• We are all members of multiple communities
• Some communities have their own traditions

The questions we will be answering in this unit are:

• What is a community?
• Who are the members of a community that help us?
• What communities are you a member of?
• How can you identify community workers?
• What can you do to contribute to your community?
