Over the next three weeks, our class will learn that we are all valuable members of our families and community, and together we make our class a place to learn and grow. We will read books about neighborhoods, and we will learn that different people work together to help make our communities special. Children will also write a descriptive essay about what makes their world special.

Essential Question: What makes families and communities special?
