2. Next students will sit down on the story telling rug.

3. I will then proceed to ask students anticipatory questions. - “Does anyone know what a community helper is?” and “What types of community helpers do you know of?”

4. After the anticipatory questions I will show students the artifact chest.

5. The artifact chest would contain many artifacts from different careers. - Chest items include a construction hard hat, stethoscope, a cook book, firefighter boots, a mail bag, and other items.

6. I would show the artifacts to students and describe which career the artifacts belong to and there purpose.

7. Then I will show students the book I will read aloud to them called Career Day by Ann Rockwell. - I will focus especially on the cover of the book. - Pre reading questions I will ask students are “What do you think the book will be about?” And “Can you name any of the careers on the cover of the book?”

8. During the reading I will refer to the artifact chest for certain careers.

9. After the read aloud I will introduce the Community Helpers Song. - Students will sing the Community Helpers Song to the tune of Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. - Firsts students will listen as I sing to the tune. Then I will play the song again and students will sing along with me. - Students will also learn to transition to different activities when they hear the song.

10. When we are done learning the Community Helpers Song students will move back to there seats to begin the next activity.

11. The hands on activity students will be working on is constructing a Career Person. - Students have the choice of making a Career Person from their favorite career. - Career People students can choose to make are mailman, garbage collector, fireman, police man, teacher, mayor, baker, construction worker, and various others.

11. I will explain the directions to students and show students an example.

12. Throughout the activity I will monitor the students and help students if they are having difficulty.

13. Once students are done making their Career Person, I will tally the ones students make. The top six careers will be made into lesson plans for the community unit.

14. Students will then be given a briefcase to store their projects throughout the week. - Before putting the Career Person in the briefcase, students will decorate it. - If students do not finish decorating their briefcases in class, they can bring it home to complete it. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-language: #0400;"> || <span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400;"> <span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400;"> || <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #404040; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">1.

 * <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Students come to the learning carpet.
 * <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Show a picture of a police officer, and ask students “Can anyone tell who this is?”
 * <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Students will respond and say police officers.
 * <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">“Today we are going to learn about some jobs that are in the community, but first we are going to learn about police officers.”
 * <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">“Can anyone first tell me what a police officer does?” (Write students responses on the white board).
 * <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Pull out the artifacts of a police officer from artifact bag. (Police badge and picture of a police car). Make sure to pass them around the classroom.
 * <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Read the story, __A Day in the life of a Police Officer__ Author: Mary Bowman-Kruhm and Claudine Wirths . I will make sure students are looking at the pictures, and I will ask questions such as “What is the police officer wearing?” “What is the police officer driving?” “What is the police officer doing?”
 * <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">After reading the story, we will talk about what happened.
 * <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Then I will show a clip from youtube titled: //I want to be a Police Officer// Author: Kidsongs
 * <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The class then will have a discussion of the song clip.
 * <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The class discussion will involve reasons why police officers help people, when to call police officers, what they do on a daily basis, and where police officers work.
 * <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Then it will be time for students to complete the police hat and badge activity. (allow roughly 15 minutes)
 * <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Use the “Police Hat and Badge Template”, Students will color the hat and badge using their knowledge from the story, kidsongs youtube clip, and open discussion. Then students will cut out the hat and badge, and teacher will staple two construction paper stips around the police hat to form a hat for the students.
 * <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I will model the students the directions.
 * <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Then I will ask a student to tell me to summarize what they have to do (the directions). This will help the other children get an explanation one more time from one of their peers.
 * <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I will ask students if they have any questions before we complete the police hat and badge activity.
 * <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Students will then complete the police hat and badge activity.
 * <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I will monitor around the classroom.
 * <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">After students complete the hat and badge activity, they will put their hats in their “Career Briefcase”.
 * <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I will then start to sing the career song. Students know to come back to the learning carpet (learn Career Song transition on Monday) to learn about what a Firefighter does.

First can you tell me the careers you have learned about so far?” 2. “Today the community helpers we are learning about are a postal worker and a garbage collector.” 3. Create a KWL chart to see what they know about the postal workers. “Can anyone tell me what a postal worker or postman does?” 4. Read Postal Workers A to Z. 5. The students will return to their seats and be given the materials to make the envelopes. 6. “Now we are going to do an activity where we will be recreating the process of the postal system. You will each get a piece of construction paper to make into an envelope. (show example of how they are to fold the paper and glue it).” 7. Each student will grab a name from a hat and draw a picture for that student whose name they have. They will also receive a clip art stamp that they can color and then put it on the envelope. 8. “You will draw a picture for the person whose name you have, then color the stamp. When you finish drawing the picture, fold it up so that it fits into your envelope, write the name of who it is to and your name on the front so the postal workers know who to send it to”, (have an example to show the students where the names and the stamp should go). 9. “While you are working on your pictures I am going to be taping a brown paper bag to the back of your chair, that will be your mail box, you will put your completed envelope in there so the mailman knows its ready to be picked up.” 10. Depending on how many tables there are I will have that many postal workers. (The postal workers are decided based upon who is behaving properly.) If there are three tables I will have one person from each table pick up the mail at their table. They will put the mail they picked up into a basket. 11. I will choose three people to sort the mail and separate it into three baskets (one for each group) Then three more people, one person from each table, will deliver the mail and place it in the students ‘mailboxes’. 12. If a student gets done with their work early they can either color a postal worker coloring page or go to the classroom library and read more books on postal workers. 13. Once they are done getting their mail, “Let’s finish the KWL chart, what have you learned about postal workers today?” 14. Play the “Career Song” So that the students know its time to come back together on the ‘learning carpet’. <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-language: #0400;"> <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-language: #0400;"> <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #404040; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">1. “How many of you know what happens to the trash when it leaves your house?” 2. “Does someone take it away or does it just disappear?” 3. “Well the garbage collector is the person who gets rid of your trash. I am going to read you a story called Dear Garbage Man. 4. “What was it that ‘Stan the garbage man did?” 5. “The garbage collectors job is very important, if there was no one to pick up the garbage, what do you think would happen?” 6. “Well, there would be so much garbage in the community with no one to take it away that we would be getting sick all the time.” 7. “It is not good for the community to be surrounded in trash there would be a lot of bugs and animals that carry diseases (a disease is a sickness that can be given from animal to animal and also to a person). A garbage collector helps to keep us healthy so we are not surrounded by garbage that could make us very sick.” 8. “What we are going to do right now is each of you will get to be a garbage collector. With a buddy you will go outside and pick up garbage around the classroom. But first we are going to watch a video that will tell you just what kind of garbage to collect.” 9. Hand out small garbage bags one to each group of two or three and give each person two gloves. Explain the importance of the gloves. 10. “You will each receive two gloves that you must wear when picking up garbage. The garbage is full of germs that you do not want and so in order to keep yourself safe and healthy you are going to wear the gloves.” 11. Once we have picked up the garbage if there are dumpsters around then we will throw away the bags if not bring them back to the classroom for the janitor to throw them away. 12. We will come back to the classroom and talk about what kind of garbage they saw and collected. After that ask “what does a garbage collector do and why is it so important?” <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-language: #0400;"> <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-language: #0400;"> || <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-language: #0400;"> <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-language: #0400;"> || <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #404040; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Whiteboard <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #404040; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Career song Postal Workers A to Z-Written by Jean Johnson Envelope-Construction paper <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #404040; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Glue <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #404040; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Markers <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #404040; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Crayons <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #404040; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Scissors <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #404040; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">clip art stamp <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #404040; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">4 baskets <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: #404040; font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">small brown paper bags.

You try and get everyone’s attention and you are sharing with them something about your life. Teachers stand in front of you sharing about things you need to know.” 8. After they work in their groups we will talk about how they felt when it was their turn to stand up and “teach”. “What did you like/dislike about it?” We will sing the career song letting them know we are now changing careers.
