Students discuss different types of community helpers. They create a large paper doll replica of the worker, including clothing and tools. Afterward, they connect with the community by describing their helpers to each other.

Learners examine the roles of community helpers. They design stick puppets to match community helpers in order to show how they make one's community a better place to live.

Learners demonstrate appreciation for volunteer workers. For this philanthropy lesson, students create a card, picture, or poem for a school volunteer. Learners use a variety of art supplies to create the appreciation gift.

Students demonstrate their knowledge of a camera by taking pictures of people, places, and things that make up their neighborhood or school. They select the photographs that tell a better story than others and explain their reason.
