Our Community
This month we are learning about Our Community (the town of Franklin). We started with Places In Our Community and now we are going to learn about People in Our Community.
We start the lesson by talking about the vocabulary words for the week. Vocabulary words this week include: doctor, firefighter, librarian, mail carrier, police officer,work, and workers. We look at pictures and define the word. I often use questions to facilitate words associated with the vocabulary word we are trying to define. Then we try to connect the word to the children's lives.
For the activity, the children look at case files that contain clues to who the community helper is. For example, if the answer is Police Officer, we turn over clues one at a time. Clues include: police hat, police car, handcuffs. Then the children guess who the community helper could be.
