Lesson Plan

Our Community Lesson Plan

Students will define “community,” identify its key components, and reflect on their role within their own community through discussion and hands-on activities.

Understanding community fosters belonging, empathy, and civic responsibility. This lesson empowers 4th graders to recognize how they contribute to and benefit from their neighborhoods and schools.
