Title – First Day – Class Census
By Lisa

Have the class take a census! Here is an example:

A census is a count of all the people who live in one country. In the United States, a census is taken every ten years. Citizens fill out a form with many questions on it. The government then uses that information to plan different programs.

This is our class census. It will help me to plan for a great year in second grade!
