Our new unit on communities is underway, as our student are learning about what a community is and the places and the people that make up a community. By using the community that they are most familiar with, Lincolnwood, the students are using their own experiences to share about the places they have been in this community and what they can do there. Our key vocabulary words for places in our community are bakery, clothing store, fire station, grocery store, library, post office, and restaurant. The students should be familiar with the names and purposes of these places. But it does not stop there~ our students have been thinking of so many places that they know around the community, such the park, movie theater, schools, police station, and more.
