What are the Community Helpers Scene and Question Cards?

A cover, a full page town scene and 3 pages of question cards. The scene directions read: "Look at the town. Find the helpers, the buildings and the vehicles. Talk about how each helper helps." The 12 numbered cards ask children to find the crossing guard, mail carrier, fire truck, hospital, school, police officer, bakery, library, vet clinic, school bus, garbage truck and the gardener in the park, then answer a question such as "How does a crossing guard help children get to school safely?" The card directions read: "Cut out the cards. Read a card, find it in the town scene, and answer the question."

Yes. We made it for Kindergarten to 2nd Grade community helpers, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
