Community Helpers

Community helpers was the topic of our Social Studies learning over the past week and a half. We discussed community helpers such as doctors, nurses, teachers, construction workers, firefighters, mail carriers, and police officers. We  discussed what these professions look like and the tools these community helpers utilize to perform their jobs. 

We were lucky enough to have an officer from the Quakertown Police Department visit our first grade to share about his daily duties and provide us with some important safety tips!  Some of our friends even earned official police badges by answering the officer's questions correctly. 

As we conclude our first Social Studies unit on communities, talk with your first grader about what he or she would like to be when they grow up. As our final project we will be finishing the sentence, "When I grow up I want to be ______ because . . . "

Look for the finished projects in the hallway by our classroom at the end of the week!
