Community Projects

Before the break, the first grade students were sent home with the completed box model of a place in our community. Students were learning about mapping and directions in Mathematics, so we decided to integrate our knowledge of math to our Social Studies community project. We enjoyed looking at a map of our community through Google maps and Google Earth.

We discussed that a community is comprised of people (e.g., doctor, teacher, mother, father, etc.), transportation (e.g., bicycle, taxi, car, truck, etc.), and buildings (school, bank, grocery store, etc).

Each student chose a place in our community to visit, learn about, make a box model, and then present. Bravo les amis!
