Topic Overview: This theme is one of the first units proposed in a first grade social studies unit. It starts to give students a basic understanding of where they live and where other students live. It teaches them how a community is designed and what exactly is in a community.It is a good unit to start to familiarize the students on how to use a map and identify important buildings.

Before we begin the unit lets visit this site and share our ideas as to what a community unit is and some things that have been done.

Talking community talk.


Application:

Now that our discussion is complete, Let's take it to the next level. Let's brainstorm some more ideas we could incorporate and see if we can come up with a great lesson plan that we could use in the classroom.
