Communities

With the short week last week, we did not work from our Journeys curriculum.  Instead, we focused on social studies and talked about communities: rural/urban/suburban and community helpers.

After watching a BrainPop Jr. video, we made a chart and wrote down things we would find in urban, suburban, and rural communities.

Then we made a diagram from our information.  We talked about how Park City would be a suburban community and Salt Lake City would be an urban community.

 As a review at the end of the week we made a venn diagram, comparing and contrasting urban and rural communities.

We also talked about community helpers.  After reading our story, Community Helpers, the students wrote about the community helper s/he thought was most important and why.
