Building A Community

So, probably my last community project for a while.  After this cute Building a Community foldable & packet, it'll be time to move on and work on some plant and animal science topics for a while.  It's been fun gathering the information, and designing the templates for these cute community projects though! Hope you like them!  



If you want to pick yourself up a copy of the templates and get your students working on building their own communities, they're available (with some worksheets thrown in too!) on TpT - here's the link:

Community Helpers

I've been working on these little friends for a while now.  It took me a little time to figure out the correct way to lay this fun Book of Community Helpers out, so that it would collate when printed 2 sided or copied .  I'm liking the way it turned out now, and hope those little second graders have fun adding some information and color to bring it to life!
On to my next TpT adventure!

Rural, Urban, & Suburban Communities - Foldables

So, I had an idea! I was trying to come up with something which would work in our pockets for the different types of communities.  The class are about to study Mrs. Brown Went to Town, so the idea was to bring in the Rural, Suburban, & Urban community types at the same time.  After a little thought I finally had the idea of making foldables for each of the community types, and after a little more work, I had the Barn / House / Skyscraper shapes worked out and ready to go!  I made worksheets for the individual communities, and templates  to go inside the finished product.  Here's how they turned out.  I think they're pretty cute...  If you want to grab yourself the worksheets and templates, head on over to my TpT store:
