It also shows what is occurring in her stomach after eating all of the creatures.

Theme: ''COMMUNITY HELPERS''
Students will identify community helpers and understand what each job is. They will know how each occupation is helpful and identify several characteristics for each community helper. The students will use critical thinking skills and apply this to their own life. They will dress up as the community helper they would like to be when they grow up and explain the reason of their choice in a presentation. Please help your child by practicing this at home and to come dressed as the community helper they choose by Friday, January 30th. Thanks for your help!
