Our Neighborhood Study

Our Neighborhood Study has taken off in Social Studies and all of the first graders are so excited to begin researching buildings and places.  After reading the book "Harlem" and brainstorming a huge list of places in a neighborhood, we selected these six specific places to study: 1) supermarket; 2) pet store; 3) hospital; 4) fire station; 5)  school; and 6) museum.

Today, the first graders met in teams to begin planning for building.  They brainstormed parts of the building, furniture and tools needed, community workers, and more!  Soon, we'll begin researching these places and building in the block area!  If you have any resources around any of these neighborhood places (people, books, etc), please share!
