I am SO excited to share these Community Helper Bags with you!! I’ve wanted to create them for awhile, but was just waiting for the ideas to come together in my mind so I could make them happen! I created 6 different bags and inside each one of them, I added items that would help my students experience a small part of that community helpers job. 

My students have had so much fun using these each day!  They ask for a different bag each time and I love that they are interacting with each other as they explore.

A few days ago, some of my students found out how the Chef depends on the Grocer to get the food they need to prepare it!  What a great connection.  Its fun to watch the student who chooses the Mail Carrier bag go on their delivery rounds each day around the classroom!

This is a closer look at each item that’s in each of the Community Helper Bags!

In this photo, you can see one of my students borrowed the fish from the Grocer bag so he could feed it to the kitten! 🙂

My students are THRILLED to be able to use these easy to make Community Helper Bags!  You can read more about how I made them here! What other Community Helpers would you include?
