Neighborhood A new home under construction helps focus on the concept of neighborhood. Explain that cities and towns have neighborhoods where people live in houses or apartment houses.
Neighborhoods can change over time.
Give examples such as the construction of new streets and houses or new businesses or stores coming into a neighborhood. Encourage children to think of ways their neighborhood has changed and grown. Invite children to draw their own picture map showing the neighborhood around their school. Help them to label the buildings, streets, and businesses.
