Join Miss Mackenzie in learning about helpers in our community through slideshows, activities, and pretend play! Each week, learners will learn about a new community helper. Each lesson will have an interactive slideshow in which learners will be encouraged to participate, answer questions, take turns, and complete the activities. Learners will also have a lot of opportunities to talk and answer questions regarding each community helper! Each class will end with an activity that the learners can complete and share with each other. Learners are more than welcome to bring any toys to class that relate to that lesson! For example: dentist tools for the dentist lesson, firetruck toy for the firefighter lesson, etc.

I wholeheartedly believe that students learn best when they are having fun. That is why each class will include fun games and interactive slides. Learners will be encouraged to participate if they would like! They will get many chances to participate, as each class will end with an activity that encourages discussion and interaction with each other.
