First Grade Community Interviews
Posted by Karen WilliamsonTo enrich their social studies unit on community and government, first graders have been interviewing administrators and staff at Unquowa. Students are learning how these adults work together to keep students safe and Unquowa running smoothly. Many of the first graders identified with the people they interviewed; it was interesting to hear what each person interviewed liked to do when they were children and how those interests are satisfied in their jobs!
Students asked Mrs. Cerone, the School’s Business Manager, questions such as, “Did you like math in first grade?” and “How do you pay for all the stuff, like food, that Unquowa needs?” Mr. Doug took the class into his workroom and answered questions about his favorite things t ofix. He let everyone speak into a microphone connected to speakers he had fixed. Mrs. Butler shared the many jobs she does in managing the main Office. During her interview, she answered the phone, paged a student, and responded to the front door bell to let in a visitor, Officer Pisanelli. He was picking up his daughter and we were thrilled for the chance to meet and interview a real policeman. Last but not least, students visited Chef Jessica and toured the kitchen. Through the interview, first graders were shocked to learn she wakes up at 4:30a.m. to get to school in time to bake fresh bread every day, but not surprised to learn that she has enjoyed cooking since she was their age!
