As teachers, we want each student to feel special. We want them to feel like they are an ntegral part of our classroom community. Assigning a “community helper” job to every student not only promotes a sense of responsibility, but it can also help us maintain a smooth and successful learning environment. Here is a list of 50 cute and clever community helper jobs that can be adapted to meet the needs of your specific classroom.
