Who+We+Are

THEME: WHO WE ARE An inquiry into the nature of the self; beliefs and values; personal, physical, mental, social and spiritual health; human relationships including families, friends, communities, and cultures; rights and responsibilities; what it means to be human.



CENTRAL IDEA: In successful communities people respect each other and share responsibilities.



Guiding Questions: Ask yourself: What does respect look like/feel like? Who helps us be respectful? What does a community need to be successful?  Click on these pictures to help answer these questions.

How can we help solve community problems? What responsibilities will you share with your community?

What will we be learning?
