Community Walk Adventures

In Grade 1, we are starting to learn about communities. To help us begin our study, all of the Grade 1s went on a community walk today. We walked around the community of Maple Ridge, looking at different types of houses, stores, trees and buildings. We also had discussions about community workers, such as garbage men and the people who deliver our mail. We saw construction at the community center, the community garden and a hockey rink and basketball court. The students were also excited to see all of the fall leaves on the ground! Ask your child some of the things they noticed on their walk today. If Maple Ridge is not your home community, ask your child how the community that our school is in, compares to your home community.
