What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students use what they learned about community places to make a simple map for a new neighbor. With a picture map and teacher questions, they label places and tell how people use them.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student uses a picture map to put the school, library, and post office in the right spots on their map. They label each place and explain what someone can do there.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may put places anywhere instead of checking the picture map. They may say people borrow books at the post office or label a place without knowing what people do there.
How to Assess It
- Give students a picture map and a blank copy with two empty buildings. Ask them to label the library for a new neighbor and finish, 'Go here to ___.'

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs a blank street map and place cards for the school, library, and post office; have them place the cards using a picture map.
Ask, 'Where would you send a new neighbor who wants to mail a letter, and why?' Have students write one sentence.
Play 'Where should I go?' Read cards such as 'I want to borrow a book,' and have students hold up matching place cards.
Have students make a picture guide for a new family with one local place, its name, and a reason to visit.
