Second Grade will be busy learning about urban, suburban, and rural areas in social studies. We will be designing a mini-replica of the suburban community in which we live. As a class, we have brainstormed many places that we live, work, play and shop.
Each child has been assigned a place in the community to design. Using the paper provided and other materials at home, your child needs to design their building. Please help your child be as creative and realistic as he/she can! Keep in mind that the projects will be mounted on the walls in our second grade hallway.
Along with creating a building in your community, your child will need to write a paragraph to be presented in class describing the purpose of the building. Be sure he/she includes a main idea, at least three details and a conclusion. The paragraph should be indented and neatly written on the template provided. It may also be written on a notecard for presentation purposes, but is not necessary.
The finished projects and paragraphs are dueFriday, May 3, 2013. We are very excited to build our own community! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call us at school. Thank you for your help and cooperation!
