After studying the community around them, the first graders built Communityville in their classroom. Madison takes you on a tour, recounting all the creative and imaginative play which ensued while playing in the town.
This story was originally part of a site-specific audio tour of our school written and recorded by third graders. The stories recount school memories ranging from kindergarten to third grade which reference specific locations, landmarks and objects on campus.
While these pieces were originally created to be listened to on-site, they can be enjoyed on their own as well. We also recommend that you listen using headphones.

Review of Communityville (1st Grade Room)
like the intersting opening, nice voice over-- "closest to the coat room"
(although) a little bit of voice or natural sound while "playing communityville" would be nice...
I am so glad the host is a dentist, I always like dentists! I take teeth seriously.
and dogs, who got the woof sounds?
Of course, me personally, I would be at the radio station. Is there a box for the radio station?
At any rate, the jobs inside the shoeboxes are very, very important.
I can't believe you used a church bell as the head of the town!
...because in America there is a seperation of church and state on purpose... still I admit, I enjoyed the music with the tweety birds at the end of the piece.
la,la,la,la,... .
