Lisa,
This one is pretty easy and fun. May take some prep work. Reach out to local businesses for help. We recreated our own Dollar General store and a Pizza Ranch for our children to play in and interpret their experiences going to these places in our town. They LOVED it.
Visit your local library, post office, a grocery store, etc. and take photos. We have a county naturalist who comes to speak about many topics dealing with nature around our town - animals, plants, trees, hibernation, birds, etc. Make a map of your town - note where each student lives or mark where the places are they patronize in their town, Add grocery ads to your house area from local stores. Place business ads in your art area. Sop many ways to bring your community into the classroom and dranatic play.

Children have chances to learn specific details about the actual community in which they live.
Looking for examples of how this can be document and met
