Going For a Walk.......

After learning about communities and identifying the difference between needs and wants, first graders took a walk around our school community on Tuesday!  We made many stops along the way to identify if various businesses would provide something community members need or want.  We also looked at the different types of shelters in our community.  We identified single family homes, duplexes, an apartment building, and several large homes that have been converted into apartments.   When we reached Roland Avenue, we stopped to drop a very important piece of mail off at the post office and then we toured Eddie's of Roland Park.  We saw many yummy foods from the food groups we've been discussing.  We also got to enjoy a treat.

Here's a slideshow from our community walk:
