Alpine Academy: Social Studies

Community Helpers
Who helps put out fires? Who helps when you are sick or hurt? The preschool children learned about community helpers through role play. They had dramatic play stations for doctor, vet, grocery store, and restaurant throughout the classroom. They also learned what to do for fire safety and practiced the "Stop, drop, and roll" drill. 

The First Thanksgiving
We listened to stories about the pilgrims and their first Thanksgiving meal with the Wampanoag Indians. Then we tried some of the foods they would have eaten.

We Are Family
We like to read stories about many kinds of people and families. The children especially enjoy looking at pictures homes.
