COMMUNITY: NEIGHBORHOOD MODELS

First graders have been busily constructing small-scale models of neighborhoods in a city. Girls started with thinking and writing about why people would choose to live in a city or suburb. They made connections to living in or nearby San Francisco. Girls brainstormed ideas related to people living in neighborhoods found in a city setting: What are they doing? Where are they going? Why would they choose to live in a city?
