How Police Officers Help a Neighborhood, Read and Answer
Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher
"How Police Officers Help a Neighborhood, Read and Answer" is written for 2nd Grade (Ages 7-8), and it covers C3 Framework D2.Civ.2.K-2. If your little one is a year younger but already steady on Community Helpers, the page still works. You may just need to read the instructions out loud. And if they are older and police officers never quite stuck, this is a short review rather than busywork.

Read how police officers direct traffic when the lights stop working and help lost children. A neighborhood is a part of a town where people live near each other.

On page 2: Circle the letter of the best answer for questions 1 to 3, and write the answers to questions 4 and 5 on the lines. The answer key covers the questions on page 2.
Can I use this police officers worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for 2nd Grade Community Helpers, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with police officers. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.
