What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students name groups they belong to, such as a family, a class, or a group of friends. They recognize that one person can belong to several groups at once.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can name two or more groups they belong to and explain who is in each one. They can also identify groups another person belongs to from a picture or short story.
Common Misconceptions
- Some students think they must pick just one group. Others think everyone has the same kind of family or that all classmates are friends.
How to Assess It
- Ask students to draw themselves in two different groups and label each group. Have them tell a partner how they belong to both.

Ways to Teach It
Give each child a paper person and circles labeled family, class, friends, and community; have them place the person in every circle that fits.
Ask, “Can Maya belong to a soccer team and a family?” Have partners explain how she belongs to both.
Play group match with picture cards showing one child at home, in class, and with friends; match each picture to a group.
Point to the school on a neighborhood map, then ask students how they belong to both the school and the local community.
