Monday- Project: What Type of Community Do You Live In?
Materials: Your family will sit together and think about what your community looks like. You will need a large piece of white paper, markers, crayons, colored pencils, a pencil with an eraser and a ruler.
What are the buildings in your community that mean the most to you? What kind of a community do you live in: rural, urban, suburban? What do you like about your community? What would you change if you could?
Communities are unique in their own way, just like people. No two communities are the same: the people, stores, schools, churches, parks, courthouses and landscape is all different. Some are more diverse than others. Some are in rural areas, whereas others are in suburban and urban areas.
You and your family will draw and color the community where you live. Make sure to add the buildings that are most important to your family. There are a few pictures attached to explain the different types of communities.
Tuesday- Project: Building Your Community One Box At A Time
Materials: boxes of different sizes, construction paper, paper towel holders, toilet paper tubes, scissors, glue, markers, crayons (you can add whatever you would like to build your community). You need your family to brainstorm which buildings you want to include in your display. You can include landscaping, monuments, animals, flags, trucks and cars etc.
(This lesson builds from Monday you can use your drawing as your template for building your community).
Think about the type of community you live in and what is important to mention or add to your model. Does your community have a local park with a pool? Does your community have a shopping center? Barber shop? Store with window front shopping? Garages or car dealers? Schools and how many? Courthouses? Talk with your family about the importance of these stores and buildings. What would you like to add to your community if you could? How far does your family have to travel to shop at your favorite stores?
Once you have brainstormed, you can start to create your project with your family. Start with your base or large piece of construction paper. You can also use a cardboard box and flatten it out to make a sturdy platform. Then cover it with roads, grass, or the choice of your foundation, then start adding your buildings and landscaping. Make sure to label your buildings.
Wednesday- Project: Who Are The Heroes In Your Community?
Materials: White paper, crayons, colored pencils, a pencil with an eraser, and your family to brainstorm the people of your community that you consider to be heroes. You can make a list of these people and then work together with your family to create your picture.
You will each take part in creating the list and drawing/coloring the community members you named. Think of the people you encounter daily: teachers, store workers, doctors, military, dentists, bus drivers, police, mail carriers, firemen, bank tellers, pharmacists, gas attendants, trashmen, restaurant workers etc. You can add as many heroes as you would like to your creation.
Every person in your community plays a vital role in making your community run smoothly. Each worker does something different to provide a support or service to others in the community. Think about what would happen if certain people did not perform the job duties that they do. How would this change your community?
Once you have completed your picture, you can ask your local businesses if they would like to display your artwork. For example: The Ice-House in Berkeley Springs or the Library.
Thursday- Project: What Part Of The Beehive Community Are You Most Like?
Materials: You will need the information below, the attached Beehive template and your family to discuss your positive traits, a pencil, eraser, crayons, colored pencils or something to color with. (You can choose whatever you prefer).
Once you have read over the below information, each family member should choose which Beehive member you are most like. (Given gender is not a factor because as mentioned most bees are females). What makes you most like the bee you chose? What jobs or tasks do you perform within your family or community that represent the bee you chose? Once you choose the type of bee you are most like, you will decorate your beehive (template) or you can draw one on your own. Using the Beehive Template, you will choose to either write a poem, story or list the jobs that you perform within your home/community that make you most like the bee of you choose.
There are 3 different types of Beehive Community workers: The Queen, the Drones and the Workers.
The Queen
Worker Bees
is the only fertile female in the colony. It is the only member that can lay
fertilized eggs. She signals to the rest of the bee colony that all is well in the hive with the
other bees.
The Drone or Male Honeybee have only one task: fertilization. Drones have neither
stingers to help defend the hive nor the necessary body structure for collecting pollen or
nectar to contribute and feed the community.
females.
Worker bees constitute the largest population in the colony and are all
Worker bees have many different jobs: Cleaners- clean and polish the empty cells,
Undertakers- remove dead bees from the hive, Nurses- care for the developing bees,
Builders- produce wax to build hives, Temperature Controllers- control the humidity and
temperature of the hive, Guards- guards the hive and watches for cracks in the hive, and
Foragers- search of nectar, water, pollen and propolis. They can make about ten trips a
day, each one lasting about an hour and return to their hive at sunset. At this final phase of
Friday- Project: Community Rock Art
Materials: Small- smooth, clean rocks, Paintbrushes, paints of different colors, paper towels and water to wash your brushes. You will need to work with your family to come up with positive words to paint onto your rocks. There are several examples listed below but please feel free to come up with something else. Once you and your family have painted your rocks, place them around your community for others to find. This will brighten their day and put a smile on their face to see your beautiful artwork and display in the community.
Think about how you feel when you read positive words or when you come across something beautiful that is unexpected.
Have you ever found one of these painted rocks? How did it make you feel? Did you decide to keep it or re-hide it for someone else to find? Why is spreading joy and positivity within your community important? Please discuss these questions with your family and hold a conversation about the importance of kindness and positivity. Think about the reverse. What would your community look like if people were negative all the time? How would this change the atmosphere of your community?
