Mini Lesson

You have learned so much about communities this year! Now it is time to put it all together — by making a community poster about the place you live.

What goes on a community poster?

  • People: helpers in your community — teachers, firefighters, doctors, neighbors.
  • Places: important buildings and locations — school, library, park, market, place of worship.
  • Values: the things your community cares about — kindness, respect, cooperation, honesty.
  • Your name and city: every poster starts with "My Community: ___."

How to make your poster

  • Use a large sheet of paper or poster board.
  • Draw at least three places in your community and label each one.
  • Draw at least two community helpers and write what they do.
  • Write one sentence about a value your community lives by.
  • Decorate with colors that represent your community.

Why does this matter?

  • A community poster shows pride in where you live.
  • It helps you think about who contributes to making your neighborhood a good place.
  • Sharing your poster teaches others about your community.
