What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Children wait while a classmate uses a shared item, then use it when their turn comes. They pass materials and help finish a group job that everyone can use.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student asks for the crayons instead of grabbing them, waits, then passes them on. During cleanup, they pick up blocks they did not use so the next group has a clear space.
Common Misconceptions
- Some children think their turn ends only when they are ready, or that asking once means they get the item right away. Others think a group job is done when their own part is finished.
How to Assess It
- Show a drawing of two children reaching for one glue stick while making a class poster. Ask, "What could they do so both help finish the poster?" Listen for waiting, passing the glue stick, and helping with the poster.

Ways to Teach It
Give each table one tub of blocks and ask children to build a bridge together, passing pieces and leaving space for each builder.
Show a drawing of two children reaching for one paintbrush, then ask, "How can both help paint the class mural?"
Play Pass the Blocks: each child adds one block to a class tower, then hands the block bin to the next child.
During snack setup, give each pair a napkin stack and ask them to put a napkin at every seat before sitting down.
