Our TAISM Community

A community is...
 "A place where people work together."
"Sometimes people work in a different place."
"When people help each other."
"There are rules and expectations in a community that help keep us safe and healthy."
"People in the community share."
"People take care of their community."

These are some ideas and understandings that our 1st graders had when they hear the word, "community". This week we started to talk a lot about the TAISM community. We brainstormed many groups of community members at TAISM, such as nurses, teachers, principals, counselors, cafeteria workers, guards, administrators, and many more! We learned that in order to have a healthy and organized community, we need different teams of people to do a certain job. This week, we had a chance to meet and interview our aquatics coordinator, Mrs. Lisa File, our admissions office associate, Mrs. Urmila Seymour, and one of our school guards, Mr. Qaiser to learn more about their jobs and how they work as part of their team. We are going to continue our community interviews next week with different community members. At the end of the interview project, a mural of our community will be displayed in the ES foyer. Stay tuned!
