While talking to a couple of teachers at lunch I saw my lesson plan coming together! I will do a compare and contrast of Chicago to our very small town of Swink. 3rd grade is where they learn about their community and how better to do that then to have them look at the differences and similarities in other communities, both big and small. I want to record some sounds and video clips of the traffic as this is something most of my kids have never seen and heard. I will also do a section on the different buildings as well as the similar buildings in the two locations. Part of my lesson would include a walking trip around our town where I can display photos taken here and have a group discussion.

Traffic!?! What is that? You mean 5 cars lined up behind a slow tractor on HWY 50 doesn’t count? Lol. I like your lesson plan. It will give the kids a glimpse outside of their bubble.

Definately a good plan, maybe throw in middle sized towns too, plus the big metropolis. I really think that nurses need to have “educational” trips! I do have to agree with Ma though, reading over it would be helpful! love you tons!
