Social Studies
People in the community:
In this Social Studies unit children will have the opportunity learn more about their community. Students will need a parent or other helper to guide them through these activities and help them discuss the reflection questions.Students will recognize that communities consist of various physical features and community facilities that meet human needs and learn how people in the community interact with each other and the physical environment to meet human needs.
The focus for these activities is web based learning.
Please start with the activities in the first box and work your way through. (i.e., 1. Listen/Watch/Do, 2. Read 3. Write etc.)
