What the lesson says
How does a community change over time?
Here is a town long ago, back then.
It had a field, a river and a shop.
Many years later, here is the same town now.
People built a new school on the field.
People built a new bridge over the river.
The old shop closed its doors.
Some things stay the same, like the river.
Let's count the changes: one, two, three.
Communities change over time, from then to now.
