Lesson Plan

Neighborhood Helper Expedition Plan

Students will explore and identify local community helpers, understand their roles, and recognize neighborhood resources; they will express appreciation through a thank-you journal entry and a group shout-out activity.

Building awareness of community helpers fosters respect, encourages family conversations about local resources, and empowers students to feel connected and supported by their neighborhood.
