Over 100 Ideas for yoru Community Helpers Theme including crafts, science activities, math, and more for kids of all ages.
September is an exciting time of the year! It's the time of year when we welcome a class of new students-- a group of students whose future we hold in our hands. Each new year brings the opportunity to do something different, better than we did it before. It's an opportunity to employ some new learning and create new experiences for our students. With the spirit of new learning in mind, I'd like to share two ideas that will help you begin to create a positive community of math learners who are ready to explore and investigate math the way mathematicians do.
At the beginning of our unit. our classroom was lacking decorations and the giant black bulletin board was just beginning to have green squares put on it... A few days later, our room transformed and we added our own buildings, vehicles, traffic signals, vegetation to our community map and each child made a paper doll of themselves of what they want to be when they grow up. Enjoy these pictures! Police station, museum, doctor’s office... VONS, Disney store, Panda Express (complete with a drive-thru window), Veterinarian’s office, barn, skatepark, scientist lab, Aquarium.... ... every community needs their own pink airport and a NASA building... Target, MB2, Lazy Dog, and a firestation! Racecars at MB2! All of our Community Helpers "Macy is a veterinarian. She makes animals feel better and she can help find the perfect animal.” “Waylon is a farm. He can plant corn.” Check out these sounding out!!! “Dean is a paleontologist. He discovers dinosaur bones.” “Carson is an astronaut. He flies to space.” And our finished project!!!
"Unlock the secrets to improving your math skills with our expert tips and strategies. From solving equations to acing exams, learn how to get better at math today!"

We finally finished our Community Helper graph! I have a super cute activity that I was going to do last week, then today, with our nursery rhyme but I forgot my candle, so we will do it tomorrow! :) Our Bible activity is in pieces, so hopefully it will be assembled tomorrow so I can get that picture up. I thought today I would put the rest of last weeks activities up and then start our pumpkins tomorrow. I think today was the first normal day that we've had in October! The whoosh season is already upon us! This is not my favorite Community Helper book that I did with the class this year. We were so pressed for time that I had to do something that could be done in a short amount of time. I believe this is from Teacher Helper Oct/Nov 2004. I posted the picture up earlier of Officer Buckle and Gloria that we read in class. We did this page the day that the police officers visited our school. We read Flashing Fire Engines which is a part of our Scholastic Curriculum. It was really cool because we were able to see all the parts of the fire engine when they came to visit. After reading the book and discussing what a firefighter does, we did this page. We read Froggy Goes to the Doctor to help us learn what a doctor does and what happens to us when we go to the doctor. We completed this page after reading the book and then made doctor bags in centers. I love this book! It has various letters from fairy tale characters that is just too cute! We completed this page after learning what a mail carrier does. In centers we made our own letters and put stamps on them. We read Career Day as a review to what types of Community Helpers there are and what jobs they have. I gave them four choices of what type Community Helper they wanted to be when they grew up. It was funny because many of them wanted to be teachers, and I didn't have that as a choice. Mainly, because I couldn't find teacher clip art! (Haha!) We also did a survey and completed their own individual graph. Our number from last week. We actually did our number for this week today, but I did not take a picture. Just for fun- Walking stick bug that was found on the playground! I had some other pictures that didn't take or maybe they did, but my camera will not even turn on now! I'm so sad because I'm not going to be able to do the class book that I really wanted to do. Oh well..next year! Hopefully, I'll have better pictures now!

It was a great night of Christmas carols held outdoors under a summer sky and we all had a blast. At the event they had a stage with a contemporary rock band playing all our favourites while the girls danced with glow sticks and fake candles, plus

Children created community building in the creative art area. Name cards were placed on the table as the children were working, this allowed them to be able to name their buildings. Community Helper project, children were provided a sheet of paper and a circle drawn on different shades of brown. Children cut out the circle and glued to the sheet of paper provided. Children had different types of clothes, accessories and yarn for hair to choose from to create the community helper of choice. Next they used markers to add arms, legs and facial features.
