Glenwood Landing second graders learn about their communities

Posted

Second grade classes at Glenwood Landing School held a Community Culmination where each child became a member of their community including a veterinarian, doctor, nurse, fire person, police officer, baker, construction worker, chef, and teacher - just to name a few. As part of the celebration, the students sang songs to the delight of their families.

Additionally, their parents were invited to watch a video about their community study and then see artwork and read their individual books with their families in the auditorium and hallways.  

Students not only learned about different communities, but each child researched and wrote booklets about their respective members of the community. In addition, the second graders studied the following: Urban, suburban and rural neighborhoods, rules and laws, goods and services, needs and wants, and public and private places.
