GWL Second Graders Community Celebration

Second grade classes at Glenwood Landing School recently had a Community Culmination where each child became a member of their community including a veterinarian, doctor, nurse, fire person, police officer, baker, construction worker, chef, and teacher - just to name a few! As part of the celebration, the students sang songs to the delight of their families! Additionally, their parents were invited to watch a video about their “Community” study and then see artwork and read their individual books with their families in the auditorium and hallways.

Students not only learned about different communities, but each child researched and created written booklets about their respective members of the community. In addition, the second graders studied the following: Urban, suburban and rural neighborhoods, rules and laws, goods and services, needs and wants, and public and private places.

Bravo to the entire second grade and their teachers for learning all about their community, singing songs, and working so hard during the months leading up to the culmination.
