Community+Workers

= Community Workers = = = Kindergarten Government, Rules and Laws Standards: 1. The purpose of rules and authority figures is to provide order, security and safety in the home, school & community. ​  Step 1: As a class, we will brainstorm various community workers that help us with order, security, and safety! All the answers will be recorded on a GoogleSpreadsheet and displayed on the whiteboard. Next, I will split you up into your groups. Each group will be assigned one of the workers on the GoogleSpreadsheet. ​​  Step 2: On Tuesday, each group will use books from the library to learn about their community worker. As a group, you will create a collage of items used or related to the community worker using Scratch. The assistant will help each member add one item to the collage. Each collage will have a total of 3-4 items and one brief audio sentence. ​  Step 3: On Wednesday, each group will create a timeline with at least 5 pictures and a descriptive sentence describing the daily activities of the community worker. Timelines will be created on Timeglider with assistance from Ms. H. ​  Step 4: On Thursday, each student will create a Jing presentation reporting 3 things they learned about the community worker. First, students will identify three things they learned. Next, the assistant will help the students with writing their answers on Microsoft Word. Then, Ms. H will assist each student with the audio record on Jing. ​  Step 5: On Friday, each group will work with the assistant to post their Jing presentation to the classroom blog, Blogger.com, for parents to view! In addition, the collages and timelines will be shared with the class! ​  If you need examples for the steps, feel free to check out Ms. Hollenbeck's examples of a firefighter!
