Objective 2
Recognize and identify the people and their roles in the school and neighborhood. Explain how these roles change over time.

__Materials needed__:
Rigby book "What I Want to Be When I Grow Up" Clipboard Paper Pencil Chart paper The people who perform the jobs (a firefighter, a police officer, a mail men, etc.) Community Helper Booklet (this will have pages for the students to write about all the school helpers that they will meet and places for them to write the jobs that they have at school) (optional assessment) Worksheet where students match the helper to their job

__Teacher (To) directions/actions/instructions__:
Tell the students that they have talked about school community helpers and now they are going to talk about neighborhood community helpers. Read them the book "What I Want to Be When I Grow Up" and have them listen for community helpers.

__Teachers/Students (With) actions__:
On chart paper make a list of all the community helpers they can think of. Give them hints if they can't think of anymore. Tell the students that they will be having guest speakers for the next few weeks and they need to think of questions they would like to ask them. Pick a helper, like the firefighter, and have them make a list of everything they already know about that job. Then have them make a list of the things they want to find out about that job? (How did you get the job? What is your favorite part about your job? etc.)

__Students (By) actions/activities students will do during lesson__:
Over the course of the week invite the community helpers to come into your classroom (or go on a field trip to their place of work) and share about their jobs. Before they come give them the three questions that you would like them to answer. 1. What is your job and what tools do you need? 2. How does it help the school community? 3. What can we do to make your job easier. Have them present for about 10-15 minutes then let the kids ask a few questions that they brainstormed. When the person leaves have the students draw a picture and write about that school helper in their community helper book.

__Assessment-these may be written, verbal, observations, etc__:
The community helper book will be a great way to assess their understanding. Also in their community helper booklet have them write what their job is in the school community. You could also play charades where the students act out the job and the students have to guess what community helper it goes with.
