What educators are saying

This is an AMAZING resource! For first grade, social studies can be daunting. This helps to bridge those moments when you need a little fun to the curriculum.
This was a great resource to use with the community helpers theme with my preschool class. They especially loved the songs for each helper! Thanks so much!

Description

COMMUNITY HELPERS

Supplement your primary study of community helpers with "The People in My Community." This item includes student books, songs, and labeling posters for each of the following community jobs:

  • firefighter
  • baker
  • soldier
  • farmer
  • reporter
  • police officer
  • doctor / nurse
  • trash collector

The books are nonfiction texts, narrated in first person, and include simple text features for beginning readers such as:

  • captions
  • labels
  • alphabetical picture glossaries

Each book also supports readers with:

  • key vocabulary, underlined
  • sight words, gray for tracing

Comprehension is supported as each student constructs meaning to illustrate portions of each book on their own. This task of illustrating requires students to:

  • recall background knowledge
  • visualize details
  • synthesize new information

To see a free sample of the "I Am a Firefighter" and "I Am a Police Officer" books, songs, and posters, click on the PREVIEW.
