2nd Graders will play a new work place "What's the Difference? " in which they will compare two groups and figure out the difference between their scores for each round. 

1. Unit 1, Module 3 session 5 Home Connection

Students will discuss and think about how a community is not just a bunch of individual “mes” living in a shared space but also a collective “we” that interacts, grows and tries to solve issues. This inquiry challenges them to understand that through businesses, town organizations, and local governments, a community meets the needs and wants of its people, finding strength in collective efforts to address problems.

Students can write in their journals how people in their community come together to solve the problems. 

Counselors describes to them what it means to have things in common and things different between each one with simple examples. Then, through the game getting to know each other, they interact, ask and answer about common interest and different interests (favorite movie, favorite book, favorite animal, etc.)

Can you ask your child at home, what things do you have in common with your classmates? What things do you have differently with your classmates? Remind them that the community in the class is diverse, each one is unique and we can learn from each other.
