Community Con

In 2nd grade, the students at WoodCreek Elementary participate in a class-wide event called Community Con. It's an all encompassing project where the kids are split into groups to design and create their own communities using lessons from every subject, including social studies, math, writing, and science.

Kaitlynn's group included 3 of her best friends and they designed a community called Shadyville which was a suburban community with some shops, parks, homes, and even your typical neighborhood greenery. They had the best time designing and building their community, and their favorite part was creating and naming their own storefronts. On the day of the Community Con event, the kids were even allowed to dress the part to fit their community. Kaitlynn and her group decided to dress as chefs from their community restaurant.

Welcome to Community Con!

I loved visiting my girl at this event and seeing her work showcased for the parents.


Here's the model of Kaitlynn's suburban community called Shadyville.

Kaitlynn and her group -- the creators of Shadyville!

Along with the community model, the students created books with various writing assignments describing their work.

So proud of my girl and her hard work for the event.

Kaitlynn and Dominique.
