It was a sunny Saturday morning in the neighborhood of Oak Trees. Sam was watering the flowers in his front yard when his neighbor Jenny came by walking her dog. "Good morning!" Sam called out. "Morning!" Jenny replied. "Hey, are you planning to go to the community meeting at the recreation center tonight? I heard they are going to discuss plans for a new playground." "A new playground?" Sam responded. "No, I didn't know about the meeting. That sounds like a great idea though. This neighborhood could really use a nice playground for the kids." "Yeah, exactly!" said Jenny. "The flyer said they want input from the whole community on what should be included. I'm hoping to suggest some features that would be good for kids of all ages and abilities, like wheelchair-accessible equipment." Sam nodded. "It's important to consider that. You know, I should go to the meeting too. The more people from the community who get involved, the better the outcome will be." "For sure," Jenny agreed. "Well I better get going, but I'll see you tonight!" That evening, Sam and Jenny attended the lively community meeting at the recreation center. Many other neighbors were there too, sharing ideas for the new playground. The community center director was thrilled with the turnout and input. She said this kind of engagement and awareness from the neighborhood would really help create a playground space that would benefit everyone. On their way home, Sam and Jenny felt glad they had gone to the meeting. By getting involved, they were helping make their community a better place to live.  Reflection: Write your reflection in your notebook and be ready to read it in front of the class on next Friday.
