Community Study Guide

Social Studies

Test: September 10^th

In first grade our tests are very straight forward.  The first graders are tested on materials we have reviewed very thoroughly in class.  Please go over this study guide with your child.  If you have play doh at home you could have them build a community and have them describe what they have added.  Please contact me with any questions or concerns.  Thanks, Mrs. Clements J

1. Your child should know the name of our planet, continent, country and state.  On the back of this sheet is a copy of the song we sing in class to help us remember these facts.  Try singing together at home!

2. Your child should be able to orally define the term neighborhood.  A neighborhood is a place where people live, work and play.

3. Your child will need to know that St. Clement is in the city of St. Bernard.

4. Have your child explain the difference between wants and needs.  Examples:  A video game is a want because I don’t need it to survive.  Lunch is a need because I have to eat to survive.

5. Your child will need to be able to define a volunteer as someone who doesn’t get paid for their work.

6. The first graders will be asked to draw at least 3 types of transportation on their test.  Examples: train, plane, car, truck, scooter, bike etc.

7. Your child will need to know the differences between jobs that provide goods and jobs that provide a service. 

      Examples of  jobs that provide a good: farmers, construction workers, bakers

      Examples of jobs that provide a service: doctor, teacher, priest, secretary, nurse
