From Our Room to Our Community

Children discover that places fit inside bigger places, like stacking cups: classroom, school, neighborhood, town, state and country. They meet the community places that help everyone and the helpers who work there, and they learn the basic rules for getting around safely: walk with a grown-up, cross at a crosswalk, and stop, look and listen.

  • 3 lessons
  • About 32 minutes
  • Places and safety check: 5 questions
  • Ways to answer: fill in the blanks, choose an answer, match pairs, put in order, sort into groups and true or false
