Communities are like big puzzle pieces that come together to create the world we live in with each community having its own unique characteristics and activities that makes it special.
Have kids explore the three types of communities: rural, suburban, and urban, through a story about 3 friends and discover
the exciting features each community offers!
I've also created a modified reader to help students who might need extra
support so it can work for grades 1-3. Here is a craftivity or end of unit activity to complete.
After reading, students use the text to
answer questions about each community and highlight where they found their
answers.

Below are some pictures and a video
below to share with kids with a brief description of each community. If you're looking to learn about Community Helpers (geared for K-1) , check this out.
Rural Communities:
In rural communities, you'll find wide
open spaces, farms, and plenty of nature to explore. Some fun activities would include taking a hike or visiting a farm to meet the animals. If you love the outdoors, rural communities are perfect for you!
Suburban Community
Suburban communities are a mix of city as they are outside a city and countryside. They're known for their neighborhoods, parks, and playgrounds. You can head to the local park for a game of soccer or have a fun day on the swings. Suburban areas offer a perfect blend of nature and playtime!
Urban Communities
Urban communities are bustling with energy with so many things to see such as skyscrapers, busy streets and museums! You can explore museums and learn about history and art, visit a local market to discover different foods or take a stroll in a city park. Urban areas are full of exciting things to do and see!
