Florida SS.K.A.3

SS.K.A.3 is a Florida social studies standard. These are the benchmarks under it.

• SS.K.A.3.1

  Use words and phrases related to chronology and time to explain how things change and to sequentially order events that have occurred in school.

• SS.K.A.3.2

  Explain that calendars represent days of the week and months of the year.

01

What Students Need to Do

Students place familiar events in order. They use words such as first, next, before, after, yesterday, and today to explain the sequence.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Students correctly arrange pictures from a familiar routine. They explain the order with time words and notice when an event is out of place.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may reverse before and after or treat yesterday and tomorrow as the same. They may order pictures by size or position instead of what happened.

04

How to Assess It

Give students three shuffled pictures of arriving at school, hanging up a backpack, and sitting on the rug. Ask them to number and explain the order.

1. 01

   Give pairs four picture cards showing planting a seed; students arrange them, then retell the sequence using first, next, and last.

2. 02

   Ask students to name what happened before and after lunch, then record their answers on a class timeline.

3. 03

   Play Sequence Relay with three daily routine cards, having teams race to order them and explain their choices.

4. 04

   Use a picture recipe for a snack, and have students identify which step must happen first, next, and last.
