Lesson Overview:

The students will be introduced to the concept of community including those people/places that
make up their local community. They will also be exposed to three maps of the local area
detailing the locations of the Police Station, Library, and Fire Station. Over the course of three
weeks, the students will walk to the Police Station, Library, and Fire Station. The teacher will
discuss in great detail the routes that they will take on each field trip. At the conclusion of each
fieldtrip, the students will make their own map of the route taken to get to each destination.
After the third field trip, the students will be asked to make a map detailing all three routes with
each destination labeled. The purpose of this lesson is to enlarge the students understanding of
the importance of each person in the community as well as deepening their understanding of the
locations of various places in the community.

                                    Part 2: LESSON PLAN

Anticipatory Set:

In order for this lesson to be most effective, the teacher should have explained and demonstrated
in great detail the concept of maps. At this point, the children should be very comfortable with
being able to understand the information on simple maps. The teacher will also need to touch on
the idea of a compass and discuss direction briefly with the students. The teacher should also
have previously had the students construct a map of their room and even their home. The week
preceding the first fieldtrip will be needed to mentally prepare the students for their outings. She
will show the students three different maps of the La Quinta area detailing the route from the
school to the Library, Police Station, and Fire Station. She will discuss the walking directions
and explain in great detail each route. The teacher will be mindful to use the terms near/far,
left/right, and behind/in front when describing the routes. The teacher will also show the
children each route using the satellite view on Google maps. She will also continuously remind
the students that after each fieldtrip, they will make their own map of detailing the route.

Additionally, the teacher will have discussed the different places that make up a community.
She will let the children express their ideas on the places that make up their local community. If
needed, she will guide the discussion by suggesting places in the community such as; the
Library, Police Station, and Fire Station. The teacher will also discuss the importance of each
member of the community including various jobs. She will remind the students that they will all
have the opportunity to meet a Librarian, Police Officer, and Fireman.



Central Activity:

The first fieldtrip will be walking to the Police Station. The day of the fieldtrip the teacher will
place the students in groups of five and assign them to a parent volunteer. The teacher will
remind the students that Police Officers are a very important part of the community and that they
will have the opportunity to actually meet one. She will remind the students to be respectful and
to follow directions during the walk to the Police Station. She will go over the route again with
the children to ensure that they are very familiar with the route. She will also remind them to
stay with their group and parent volunteer, especially when crossing the street. She will remind
the students that their homework will be to construct a map showing the route they took to the
Police Station. The class will walk to the Police Station and the teacher will talk to the students
the entire way detailing the route. For example, she will tell the students that they are heading
east on Calle Tampico and when they get to the stoplight, she will mention that they are heading
south on Avenida Bermudas. She will point out that they are passing Village Gas Station, and
the Post Office. Once the class arrives, a local Police Officer will explain his duties and turn a
siren on for the children to hear. The officer will also allow the children to sit on a Police
motorcycle. The children will then return to school to eat lunch.

Closing:

The teacher will thank the students for being respectful and following directions. She will ask
the students if they enjoyed their walk and if there was anything unexpected. She will ask the
children what they learned by visiting the Police Station and will remind them of the importance
of Police Officers in the community. The teacher will then instruct the students to make a map
of their route for homework.


Central Activity (Session Two):

The second fieldtrip will be to the La Quinta Public Library. The teacher will follow the same
procedure as the first in discussing the importance of the Librarian as well as reminding the
students to be respectful and follow directions. The students will again be placed into six groups
(5 students per group) and assigned to a parent volunteer. The teacher will also discuss the route
to the library and remind the students to stay in their respective groups. During the walk to the
library, the teacher will again use descriptive language to describe the route including direction
and landmarks. While at the library, the Liberian will give the students a brief tour and then the
children will attend a story time reading. The students will then return to school.

Closing (Session Two):

This will also be much like the first. The teacher will thank the students for being respectful and
following directions. She will allow the students to discuss the fieldtrip including anything new
they learned. The teacher will again discuss the importance of the librarian in the community
and remind them to make a map of their route for homework.

Central Activity (Session Three):

The day of the fieldtrip, the students will again be placed into groups of five and assigned to a
parent volunteer. The teacher will again discuss proper manners and the importance of staying
with their parent volunteer. The teacher will review the route to the fire station and will use
descriptive language the entire route describing the direction and street names they are crossing.
The teacher will also highlight the familiar places they will pass such as Ace Hardware, Village
Gas Station, the Post Office, the Police Station, and Fritz Burns Park. Once at the Fire Station,
the children will be taken on a brief tour by a local Fireman. He will discuss the duties of a
fireman and show the children the gear a fireman must wear when getting ready to fight fire.
They will also be able to view a fire truck and learn about all the compartments that hold the
necessary items to extinguish fire. The students will then return to school.

Closing (Session Three):

The teacher will again thank the students for their participation and for following directions. She
will again allow the students to discuss what they learned and their favorite part of the trip. The
teacher will also discuss the importance of Firemen in the community. She will tell the students
that their homework is to make a map of their route to the fire station.

Follow Up:

The week following the last field trip, the teacher will briefly discuss all three field trips and
have the students make a map showing all three locations visited.

They will also be exposed to three maps of the local area detailing the locations of the Police Station, Library, and Fire Station. Over the course of three weeks, the students will walk to the Police Station, Library, and Fire Station. The teacher will discuss in great detail the routes that they will take on each field trip. At the conclusion of each fieldtrip, the students will make their own map of the route taken to get to each destination. After the third field trip, the students will be asked to make a map detailing all three routes with each destination labeled. The purpose of this lesson is to enlarge the students understanding of the importance of each person in the community as well as deepening their understanding of the locations of various places in the community. Part 1: Preparation and Goals Number of Leaders: 1 classroom teacher, 5 parent volunteers Grade of Student Participants: Kindergarten Number of Sessions: 3 Length of each Session: 2 hours Materials: 1.

They will be brainstorm on the people and places found in their local community. The students will gain a deeper understanding of maps and their usefulness. They will be exposed to three maps of the local community detailing the local Police Station, Library, and Fire Station. The students will also be exposed to a compass and will briefly discuss direction. The students will also enlarge their mental maps of their local community by constructing three maps of the community over the course of three weeks. The students will gain added appreciation for the people in their local community. Part 2: LESSON PLAN Anticipatory Set: In order for this lesson to be most effective, the teacher should have explained and demonstrated in great detail the concept of maps. At this point, the children should be very comfortable with being able to understand the information on simple maps. The teacher will also need to touch on the idea of a compass and discuss direction briefly with the students. The teacher should also have previously had the students construct a map of their room and even their home. The week preceding the first fieldtrip will be needed to mentally prepare the students for their outings. She will show the students three different maps of the La Quinta area detailing the route from the school to the Library, Police Station, and Fire Station. She will discuss the walking directions and explain in great detail each route. The teacher will be mindful to use the terms near/far, left/right, and behind/in front when describing the routes. The teacher will also show the
  • 3. children each route using the satellite view on Google maps. She will also continuously remind the students that after each fieldtrip, they will make their own map of detailing the route. Additionally, the teacher will have discussed the different places that make up a community. She will let the children express their ideas on the places that make up their local community. If needed, she will guide the discussion by suggesting places in the community such as; the Library, Police Station, and Fire Station. The teacher will also discuss the importance of each member of the community including various jobs. She will remind the students that they will all have the opportunity to meet a Librarian, Police Officer, and Fireman. Central Activity: The first fieldtrip will be walking to the Police Station. The day of the fieldtrip the teacher will place the students in groups of five and assign them to a parent volunteer. The teacher will remind the students that Police Officers are a very important part of the community and that they will have the opportunity to actually meet one. She will remind the students to be respectful and to follow directions during the walk to the Police Station. She will go over the route again with the children to ensure that they are very familiar with the route. She will also remind them to stay with their group and parent volunteer, especially when crossing the street. She will remind the students that their homework will be to construct a map showing the route they took to the Police Station. The class will walk to the Police Station and the teacher will talk to the students the entire way detailing the route. For example, she will tell the students that they are heading east on Calle Tampico and when they get to the stoplight, she will mention that they are heading south on Avenida Bermudas. She will point out that they are passing Village Gas Station, and the Post Office. Once the class arrives, a local Police Officer will explain his duties and turn a siren on for the children to hear. The officer will also allow the children to sit on a Police motorcycle. The children will then return to school to eat lunch. Closing: The teacher will thank the students for being respectful and following directions. She will ask the students if they enjoyed their walk and if there was anything unexpected. She will ask the children what they learned by visiting the Police Station and will remind them of the importance of Police Officers in the community. The teacher will then instruct the students to make a map of their route for homework. Central Activity (Session Two): The second fieldtrip will be to the La Quinta Public Library. The teacher will follow the same procedure as the first in discussing the importance of the Librarian as well as reminding the students to be respectful and follow directions. The students will again be placed into six groups (5 students per group) and assigned to a parent volunteer. The teacher will also discuss the route to the library and remind the students to stay in their respective groups. During the walk to the
  • 4. library, the teacher will again use descriptive language to describe the route including direction and landmarks. While at the library, the Liberian will give the students a brief tour and then the children will attend a story time reading. The students will then return to school. Closing (Session Two): This will also be much like the first. The teacher will thank the students for being respectful and following directions. She will allow the students to discuss the fieldtrip including anything new they learned. The teacher will again discuss the importance of the librarian in the community and remind them to make a map of their route for homework. Central Activity (Session Three): The day of the fieldtrip, the students will again be placed into groups of five and assigned to a parent volunteer. The teacher will again discuss proper manners and the importance of staying with their parent volunteer. The teacher will review the route to the fire station and will use descriptive language the entire route describing the direction and street names they are crossing. The teacher will also highlight the familiar places they will pass such as Ace Hardware, Village Gas Station, the Post Office, the Police Station, and Fritz Burns Park. Once at the Fire Station, the children will be taken on a brief tour by a local Fireman. He will discuss the duties of a fireman and show the children the gear a fireman must wear when getting ready to fight fire. They will also be able to view a fire truck and learn about all the compartments that hold the necessary items to extinguish fire. The students will then return to school. Closing (Session Three): The teacher will again thank the students for their participation and for following directions. She will again allow the students to discuss what they learned and their favorite part of the trip. The teacher will also discuss the importance of Firemen in the community. She will tell the students that their homework is to make a map of their route to the fire station. Follow Up: The week following the last field trip, the teacher will briefly discuss all three field trips and have the students make a map showing all three locations visited.
