At the community picnic, this newcomer and her family met a lot of community helpers, including some that work at her new school. In this lesson, students read and/or listen to a simple story about community helpers. They review vocabulary from the story and answer comprehension questions. Note that the vocabulary from this lesson is taught in the Word Bank lesson “Community Helpers.”

The digital version of this lesson includes an optional Read Aloud task for students who are ready to practice reading out loud.
