Unit of Inquiry: How We Organize Ourselves
We are beginning our unit "How We Organize Ourselves". This unit is a great opportunity for you to volunteer in our classroom. We need parents to come in and tell about their professions. The students will be asking questions about when you have to go to work, where you work, what you wear and how much money you make (big, medium, or small). Most importantly, they will ask how your job helps the community. These questions will help the students to decide on a profession they might like to have in the future. Look for more information about this in Tuesday folder.
