Today I’m sharing an idea for teaching about communities.
This is a big part of our social studies curriculum, and the way it’s done is authentic and interactive!
How do you teach about communities and professions?
Our school creates a town to make it an authentic experience.
The idea is simple : each student is assigned a profession and a space in the class or hallway to represent a “profession” in a town.

After practicing their jobs, parents (or another class) will be invited in to be the “customers” to explore the town and learn about each profession. There are many forms this can take, but ours is called “Busy Town”, and it’s become quite an event!
