Elementary School Programs :: Our City®
A city is a place where a lot of people live, work, play,
and go to school. So JA classroom volunteers help students
build a city! The students construct paper buildings, map
out a city, write newspaper articles, plan their own restaurants,
and examine why banks are important.
Our City considers economic development, local businesses, and career opportunities.
See the Scope and Sequence for a complete listing of program concepts and skills.
Be sure to visit the Resource Room for helpful links.
Among
the many resources contained in the Our City
program kit, the “City Zones” poster illustrates different
aspects of a city.
