Community: Our Family Community

Assessment: We're half way through the unit and it's a good time to check in with the children regarding their understanding of what a community is.

The children drew pictures of themselves and included a thought bubble where I recorded their response to the question "What do you know about community?"

At the end of the unit the children's responses to the same question will be recorded and we'll compare the two, and discuss any changes in their thinking.

Another Community . . . Our Families!

The story Piggybook by Anthony Browne is about a family that leaves mom to do all the jobs around the house while Mr. Piggot and the boys sit around and make demands. "That's not fair!" was the consensus of the group. I asked the kids what jobs they did around the house to help their family and not many ideas came up but after watching this video the discussion was lively as they described their jobs. We'll explore this further!
