What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students take care of their own supplies and clothing. They ask before using someone else's things and return anything they borrow.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student puts their coat in their cubby without a reminder. They ask to borrow a classmate's marker, use it gently, and give it back.
Common Misconceptions
- Some children think a pencil left on a table is free to take. Others think asking to borrow something means they can keep it or put it back anywhere.
How to Assess It
- Show a picture of a student's coat on the floor and a classmate's crayons on a desk. Ask, 'What would you do with each?'
Lesson moves
Ways to Teach It
Give each child a labeled pencil box and have them put their pencils away, then practice asking a partner before borrowing one.
Ask, 'What could you say if you want to use a friend's marker, and what would you do when you're done?'
Use picture cards of a dropped coat, a borrowed book, and someone else's crayons for a 'What would you do?' game.
At dismissal, have children check their cubbies, pack their own belongings, and leave classmates' belongings in place.
