Part 1 — Lessons (15)
1. Community Helpers
Community helpers are people who do important jobs to help us all.
- A doctor and nurse help us when we are sick.
- A firefighter puts out fires.
- A police officer keeps us safe.
- A teacher helps us learn.
We say “thank you” to show we are grateful for their help.
2. My Family
A family is a group of people who care for one another. It may include a mother, father, brothers, sisters, grandparents, aunts and uncles.
Families help us by giving us love, food, a home and lessons about right and wrong.
Try this: Name three people in your family and one way they help you.
3. My School
A school is a place where we learn. We have teachers, classmates and a principal.
At school we read, write, count, play and make friends. We follow rules so everyone can learn safely.
Try this: What is one thing you like best about your school?
4. Rules at Home and School
Rules tell us how to behave so we stay safe and treat others kindly.
- At home: tidy your room, listen to your parents.
- At school: raise your hand, walk in the hallway, be kind.
When we follow rules, everyone is happier and safer.
5. The Family — Our First Community
What is a family?
A family is a group of people who love and care for each other. Families can look different: some have a mother and father, some have one parent, some have grandparents, aunts or guardians. What makes a family is love and care.
Every family member has a role. Parents or guardians earn money, cook, clean and make decisions. Children go to school, help at home, and learn. Grandparents share wisdom.
Your family is your first community — the first group you belong to.
