"The purpose of this paper is to report some learning experiences planned by a teacher and her third grade pupils that led to a better understanding of community resources and community life. To give a clear, yet brief, picture of how this third grade project developed, the writer has found it advisable: (1) to present some reasons why planning for community study is important; (2) to describe the scope of the study undertaken with a third grade group, and to list some of the major activities; (3) to tell briefly what the study meant to the children and to the teacher who guided them. In organizing the project which did so much to enrich the social living of the pupils, it was found that subject matter material from history, health and science contributed a great deal. Thus the project while not text-book centered did not eliminate the use of printed material of many kinds including the state adopted text books"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "August, 1958." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Advisor: W.
