What's Special?


Every community, every neighborhood, every block has something unique or different. What makes your block special?


Take a walk around your neighborhood and look for things that make it interesting. Make a list to share at school.

Illustrate a building in your community that is unique/different in some way. Beside the illustration, tell why it is special
