The Neighborhood of Mountain View

Our neighborhood environment is a place where people and animals live. In our local environment we have large apartment buildings, houses, schools, parks and lots of paved streets.

Most of our classmates live in apartment buildings. Most of our apartments and houses are made from pieces of wood, bricks and cement. Inside of our homes there are usually 1 or 2 bedrooms, a livingroom and a kitchen. Many of us have tv's in our bedrooms that we can watch cartoons on. In our livingrooms we have sofas. A sofa is like a large seat that you can relax on.

In our environment we also have schools where we can learn. Many of us can walk to school because we leave only a few blocks away. When we walk or ride our bikes to school, we have to be really careful because there are so many cars. We have to stop when the streetlight is red and wait for our turn to cross.

Another thing we have in our neighborhood are parks. In the parks, kids can play while the adults do other things. There are usually big spaces of grass where we can practice soccer or play other games. There are also often playgrounds we can climb on with swings and slides.
