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

__Student learning objective__:
Identify the roles of people in the school (e.g., principal, teacher, librarian, secretary, custodian, bus driver, crossing guard, and cafeteria staff).

__Materials needed__:
Clipboard Paper Pencil Chart paper The people who perform the jobs (the principal, the librarian, 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 about the new unit they are starting a new unit on community. Define the word community. Pass out a clipboard and a paper to each child and have them go get their pencil. Tell them that they are going to go for a little walk around the school and while they are walking they need to write about anyone they see that helps our school. (Make sure to walk them by the office, the lunchroom, the library, etc.)

__Teachers/Students (With) actions__:
On chart paper make a list of all the helpers at their school or community that they saw. 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 principal, 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 school helpers to come into your classroom 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 give them a list of helpers and one thing that they have to do in their job then have the students match up the helper with the job.
