The lines of inquiry that define the scope of the inquiry into the central idea are:
- The jobs people do in our community support its development

The teacher questions that will drive these inquiries:
1) What is community?
2) What are some jobs done in the community and how do they make a difference?
3) What jobs/roles do you have within our preschool community and/or home?
4) How are these jobs the same or different in other places in the world?
For our assessment activity, we read "C is for Community" and created a checklist of occupations and services that are offered in a community. Then the children went for a walk on Dunbar street to observe how our immediate community functions and at the same time, comparing it to our checklist. The children were ecstatic to find that Olivia's dad is a veterinarian at Dunbar Veterinary Hospital and he was able to give the children a tour around the facility.
