Community Helpers

 A community helper is anyone in the community who helps others by
providing a service of some kind.   
 They are all different and have different jobs.  Community helpers are the doctors, policeman, teachers, librarians, firemen, sanitation workers, cooks, veterinarians, bus drivers and mechanics.  Did you know that these people also work in other states or countries?  Yes, they work all over the world.  So you see they are very important people.  We are going to learn about these different people and what they do for our community.  

Choose a community helper.  Write about why that community helper is an important part of your community.

  1. This is a great idea. I think you should reach out to as many people as possible. Maybe some teachers from, http://www.thelessoncloud.com/p/meet-authors.html would be interested in this project.

  2. The community worker I chose was a police officer. He/she helps the community by keeping it safe. A pollice officer can be a girl or boy. They keep the community safe by watching their houses while their gone so people don't rob their houses.

  3. The community helper I choose is a firefighter. In our town we hear a loud siren and the firefighters go to the place and if the people are in a dead sleep, the firefighters get them out and save them. Firefighters are very brave. They are good community workers.

  4. My Dad is a police officer. He said that it is a good feeling to help the community by keeping everyone safe and help people that might need help. It also feels really good to catch a bad guy. My dad works in marine bureau and he helps people if their boat flips over. He also works at the base. He flies the C-130. The men and women at the base keep our community safe from terrorists. My mom is a teacher in my community. She likes working and living in our community because she likes to see all the kids when she is not at work and she likes teaching all our friends.

  5. There was a "computer glitch" before....I apologize for any stress this might have caused! We are up and running now and can't wait to hear from you. Click on "name" or "anonymous" in the "comment as" pull down screen, but put your name on the comment. I will give time in class for those who could not blog at home.
    Thanks for your patience :)

  7. The community worker I chose to write about was a dentist. A dentist can be a man or woman. A dentist cleans your teeth, checks for loose teeth and cavities. When you are all done he or she gives you a brand new toothbrush to take home! I am lucky because my dentist, Dr. Frost, works and lives around the block! Julia

  13. My dad is a community helper. He is a mechanic. The community needs mechanics in case our cars breakdown. Otherwise, we couldn't get to important places like school and work. ~Grace

  14. Zoo keepers and veterinarians are community helpers. They provide services for the community. When I grow up I want to be a zoo keeper or a veterinarian. I love love love love animals! All I want to do is stay home, and play with animals. A zoo keeper is someone that works with wild animals at zoos. A vet is someone that makes farm animals and pets feel better.
