Community Helpers Song and Video

If you have a child in first grade, then you know a lot of what they learn for Social Studies centers around learning about the community. Caitlin is covering Community Helpers today, and this video is very cute. You will have to read it to your child if they can't read at this level yet. It is funny because her textbook paper that covers Community Helpers has a burglar as a community helper. I got a kick out of that. Caitlin decided to hide her second notebook of site words on me, so now she is reading a book a day. We will see if she finds it, or wants to continue to read a book every single day.

Community Helpers Grade 1

I signed DJ and Caitlin up for 4H today. Let me tell you it is not your mother's 4H. They offer more than 120 programs for you to choose from, and you can order right online. DJ picked photography, and Caitlin picked butterflies. It was kind of hard for a six year old to pick. I am very much looking forward to the 4H experience. Tomorrow is Social Studies, and DJ will be doing Ancient Times, and Caitlin is doing Community Helpers, and whatever part of Ancient Times she might be interested in listening to. There are two videos below that you can use as supplement to your Community Helpers lesson.
