What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students name things people do for others, such as driving a bus or cutting hair. They say who does the work and who receives the help.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Given a picture of a librarian helping a child find a book, a student names the help and who receives it. They can tell how that action differs from the book itself.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may name a job, such as nurse, without saying what the person does. They may confuse a service, such as cutting hair, with an object, such as a comb. Some may think help only counts if someone is paid.
How to Assess It
- Show a picture of a bus driver picking up riders. Ask, "What is the driver doing for others, and who receives that help?"

Have partners answer, "How does the school custodian help us, and who benefits?"
Give pairs cards showing a bus ride, a haircut, an apple, and a book; students sort actions people do for others from objects.
