Last week was all about neighborhoods and communities!
We learned that everyone is a community helper in our community. We discussed the helper jobs in the classroom and I asked each student to decide what one thing they were willing to do for the common good of the classroom. They then wrote it on their handprint, and cut out, and we made a poster to remind us all of the jobs we can do to make the classroom run smoother.
Then we discussed ways to improve our neighborhoods. (like build a park, more sidewalks for bike riding, pick up trash, etc...) What is something YOU can help do?
Continuing with our discussion on responsibilities, the students watched Strega Nona. They were to watch for the kind of work people do and how they do their work. We are learning that every member of a community has a responsibility and our classroom is our community a majority of our time. :)
We made a circle map of what we want to be when we grow up:
The first community helper we started with was a doctor. This is what we know:
Then we read What Does the X-ray Say?
And we made our own x-rays!
And then we watched The Berenstain Bears Go to the Doctor
In math, our shape of the week was rectangle. And we focused on more than, less than, and equal to this week.
