3 Fun Ways To Learn About School Helpers for Kids During Back To School
These first weeks of school, we have been working hard on responsibilities that we have and that others have in our school community. We’ve been teaching our school helpers for kids to learn and understand who is in our school community and what their role in our learning community is.
School Helpers for Kids Read Aloud
We used a book we made based on Brown Bear, Brown Bear called School, School, What Do You See?
School Helpers Shared Research
Each day over the last two weeks, we had one of the school helpers for kids come and talk to the kids about their responsibilities in our school. The kids got a chance to ask the helper questions about their job and role. The kids love this so much!
Once they left, we read the School, School, What Do You See? digital book together (the packet comes with a customizable slideshow to use on your interactive white board) and discussed the person’s responsibilities in our school…we charted their responsibilities as our shared research.
The kids can use these charts to reference during their writing as well! For kinder babies, these anchor chart templates would be perfect for adding pictures of each person with their name written on the chart also!
School Helpers Informative Writing
Then, we use the anchor charts to write about each person’s responsibilities in our booklet. **Isn’t this puddle of tears just too cute??**
We usually work on informative writing with this book, and they write a topic sentence with a detail about that person’s responsibilities. This year, our district is asking us to focus on opinion writing first, so we just changed the writing to have an opinion sentence first and one reason sentence. As you will see in next week’s plans, we will move to a full opinion paragraph.
