This is a year-long project designed for elementary school students who are studying their Community. The project seeks to broaden their understanding of and appreciation for their own community as well as communities all over the world. It involves classes from all over the United States, Europe, and Australia. As students study their community, they will share what they have learned by writing monthly letters and creating a website with images from their community. They will have the opportunity to publish their findings online and learn from their peers how their environments are alike and different.
Every month there is a different topic relating to community.
Classes will write and email a letter and create a webpage to share different aspects of their community and to describe the various environments and conditions in which they live. On their web page, they will post digital pictures relating to the month's topic. They may also share what they learned on their various field trips to different locations in the community such as the Fire Station, the Police Station, the Post Office, the Hospital, the Grocery Store, etc. Students will then read each other's letters and view each other's websites to learn how their communities are similar and different.
