  1. 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!!
