Communities Unit Update

Happy Sunday everyone! 

 I've been wanting to do this update for a while! I sort of updated it a few months ago, but not nearly as much as I wanted to. I decided it was time to buckle down and get my ideas out of my head and onto the computer. :)

Don't we all teach a community unit at one point in the year? I remember when I was teaching first grade, I wanted to do activities that were meaningful and went beyond just community helpers. I created a communities unit a few years ago for this reason. Today I've updated this unit with some new ideas I had. I wanted to align it more with the Common Core so I added some opinion writing and some research writing activities. There are lots of different activities in this unit to pick and choose from. The activities in this unit is appropriate for 1st-3rd grade.

To see posts from when I first taught this unit (with pictures) click here and here.

Here is a preview of what is included in this unit:

 This research part is new:

I also added these opinion writing activities:
