Lesson Plan

Community Helpers

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Kindergartners learn who community helpers are and what contributions they make for the community. They will hear a story outlining various community helpers, their jobs, and tools, create a graphic organizer connecting community helpers, then demonstrate their learning by matching the community helper to the correct tool. This could be modified to meet the needs of an ELD classroom.
