Item Description

Second graders examine and explore the interdependent systems involved in making a community “happy and healthy.” They study how government, hospitals, grocery stores, schools, families, and others are connected; meet with community members; and travel to locations throughout the community; then they collaborate in groups to create their own simulated communities. 

The BIG FINISH: When teachers introduce problems into these simulated communities, students must grapple with the ramifications; ultimately, they begin to discover how they can effect positive change in the community.

Support Neighborhood Connections at the North Hills Campus: $500

Fund-a-Needs are programs at WT, taken directly from the operating budget and capital campaign, that make WT an enriching experience.  Your support of our teachers’ ideas and innovations provide daily inspiration for the students of WT.

As we push toward the Big Finish for Celebrate WT: Campaign for a Smart Future, many of this year’s Fund-A-Needs focus on the “Big Finishes” at WT.
