Teaching Community & Citizenship to Primary Students
Forming a community I think is one of every teacher’s goals within their classrooms. Community begins a level of trust and rapport building among you and your students as well as student to student. Relationships are nurtured, students begin to take risks and open up both emotionally and academically. However, this doesn’t happen overnight. The topic of community is also typically the beginning steps of a social studies curriculum. Are you looking for ways to teach community and citizenship to your primary students while instilling a sense of community within the classroom? Well, you’re in luck because this episode is for you!
