This is a 9 week unit on Community Helpers for primary aged students focused on K-1 skills. It is full of engaging activities keeping in mind the ages of the learners. It covers three areas: Community Jobs, Tools and Equipment for Jobs, and Today vs. Long Ago.
What about the standards?
This was planned using the Florida State Social Studies Standards. They were cross-checked to hit most other state common standards for social studies.
This was designed with Kindergarten and First Grade in mind, but can be easily adapted to Pre-K. I designed it to works for writers and non-writers. It also follows a pattern to make it easier for students after the first week. The 9 Weeks At A Glance helps you identify K-1 goals, academic terms, and resources.
