Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students describe a task people do together at school or in their neighborhood. They name what each person does and explain how the jobs help finish the task.
What Mastery Looks Like: A student can explain how one child gathers books while another puts them on the shelf. They can name the shared goal and give another example from school or home.
Common Misconceptions: Some children think working together means everyone must do the same job. Others name people who are in the same place but cannot explain what task they share. Some overlook ways children can help.
How to Assess It: Ask students to draw two people cleaning the classroom. Have them label each person's job and tell how both jobs help the class.

Lesson moves

Give partners blocks and a bridge picture; one gathers blocks while the other builds, then both explain how their jobs helped.
Ask, 'How can we get our books back on the shelf after reading time? What job could each person do?'
Play Team Task: students draw picture cards for passing cups, setting out napkins, or serving snack, then name the shared goal.
Look at the classroom recycling bin and ask how students, custodians, and collectors each help move paper to recycling.
