Unit Two: Community is based on the JA elementary program JA Our Community and introduces students to how citizens benefit from and contribute to a community's success. Some of the activities in this unit include creating custom "donuts," practicing writing a check, and designing a "go vote" card to share around the neighborhood.
To watch the videos, click on the lessons in the navigation menu and select a video to share with your class. After each video, use the educator resource and discussion guide to facilitate conversations with your students. The discussion guides also include all the materials and resources used in the videos.
The Educator Resource contains a few key pieces of information for each session to help students connect with the videos. Each session contains a brief overview, the daily affirmation and journal entry, and a Make It Local suggestion to help students connect what they see in JA Our Neighbors to their own neighborhood.
