What are my different communities and what is my role in them? This interactive program explores the roles and responsibilities in family, school, and town communities.

Students will then determine what a community needs by designing their own town on a floor map.

The educator will need a small desk or table for program materials, as well as an open space (like a classroom rug area) for the map activity. For the hands-on activities,
students will break into four groups and rotate through four stations. Ideally the educator will be able to use desks or tables in the classroom to set up these stations. We
encourage students to wear nametags to help our educators actively engage them in activities.

I can identify three communities I belong to (home, school, and town).

I can describe responsibilities people have in their home, school, and town communities.

I can compare and contrast communities (and community responsibilities) of today with those in the past through historic objects and images.

I can identify basic map features (land, water, roads) and use them to create a town map.
