Unit of Inquiry – Community…

kaymbu-image-20141022-1306KZE students had a conversation about what we need when we go swimming.  This conversation led to more discussions about the concept of “Need”.  Students drew pictures of things they think they need.  Then we sorted the pictures into several categories.  We decided that some categories are important, but some we are not so sure about.  We will continue to find out…

Pokrovsky Hills Community Walk:

KZE went on exploring the Pokrovsky Hills community next to our school with the questions of “What jobs do you see people do in a community?” and “What do we need in a community?”.

After our trip, we did some reflection.  We brainstormed and created this list of what we need in a community:

Places: house, doctor’s office, store, school,  office,  hospital, airport, zoo,  fitness center, aquarium, parking lot, and playground.

Jobs: security guard, plumber, cleaner, fire fighter, police,management people to help us, garbage collector, construction worker, and dentist.

Things: car, map,  tree, food, water, transportation, clothes,  sign, traffic light, road, and sidewalk.

This list will help us when we plan our model community.

  1. Did you think of anything that the don’t have in Pokrovsky Hills. that you think they should have? What was missing from their community?

  2. Dear Ms. Tasha, we need fire fighters but we didn’t see at PH. We also need airport, swimming pool, police, zoo, aquarium, and garbage truck.
