Welcome to the neighborhood! All of the interesting people in the "Community Club" are full of information for early readers. This is a great way to introduce different careers and learn with Classport, the world's largest online classroom community.

Meet and greet community members with classrooms around the world!

Here's how to get started:

	Review Community Club
	Once you're familiar with this activity, go to Classport and join their online community.
	You'll be asked to set up a classroom profile. You can mention in your profile that you are interested in participating in early reader, community, or career-related projects.
	Once you are a member of Classport, you can search for classrooms in other countries and contact them. Classport provides tools such as instant translation, so you can communicate easily even if you don't speak the same language!

Once you have a partner class, try these tips for learning together:

	Create a Book Club Here's how:
	1. With your partner class, agree to read as much as you can in the year. 2. Every time a student reads a book, have him/her write a short review. 3. Send the review to your partner class. 4. Ask them to send reviews of books they read, too. 5. At the end of the year, list all book titles and reviews.
	Have students record the sentences of each "Community Club" story onto your computer. Send these recordings to your partner class.
	Write a class song about a "Community Club" member. Record it onto your computer and send it to your partner class.
	Make charts that show what your students' parents do for a living, keeping names confidential. Share the charts with your partners and ask them to send you charts of their parents' professions, too.
	Write riddles, using the "Community Club" people as the answers. Send them to your partner class. See if they can match the people to the right riddle.
	Exchange lists of common sights in your community. For example, are stop signs or traffic lights more common? Are there more trees or buildings?
	Take a poll showing what your students want to do when they grow up. Share the poll with your partner class. Ask them to send you their polls, too.
	Plan a neighborhood scavenger hunt with your partner class. This can be based on a theme or a holiday, or it can be a collection of signatures from different community workers.
