What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students name work people do at home, at school, and in the community. They describe what each person does and where the work happens.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can say that someone washes dishes at home, a custodian cleans the school, and a cashier scans groceries at a store. They can explain how each task helps other people.
Common Misconceptions
- Some students think work at home does not count because no one gets paid. Others call every school worker a teacher or mix up a person's job with where they work.
How to Assess It
- Show pictures of someone washing dishes at home, a custodian cleaning a classroom, and a cashier scanning groceries. Ask, "What work is each person doing, and where are they?"

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs picture cards showing work at home, school, and a store; have them sort the cards by where the work happens.
Ask, "Who helps our school run besides teachers, and what do they do?" Write students' answers next to simple drawings.
Play job charades using cards for folding laundry, mopping a classroom, and scanning groceries; classmates name the work and place.
Walk past the school office and cafeteria; ask students what work the people there do for the school.
