Grade Level - 3
After studying what makes up a community, students will build a simulated community using boxes. These may be built at home to get the whole family involved. Students will be assigned what kind of building to design. Anything from houses, office buildings, fire stations, churches, restaurants, post office, hospitals, etc. When the student has his/her building complete the class will discuss where each will be placed in the community. Along with the building structures, streets need to be built. An easy way to do this is to use black bulletin board paper as the base to which all buildings will be placed. After placing the buildings on the paper students may cut yellow lines for the streets and place them appropriately on the paper. When complete this is an impressive display for the media center in your school.
