I am a teacher librarian and I was looking for an idea to ‘Show What You Know’ with my grade 1’s. We are starting our Inquiry Based unit on Community. I thought your idea was a brilliant way to share what they know about people and places in our community!
A hospital… Is a place where you get help when you are hurt
A restaurant…is a place where you can eat
A library ….is a place to find a good book.
A police man….helps you when you are in trouble.
Thank you so much for sharing this great resource!!
Liz,
