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

  1. 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.

  2. Ask, 'Where would you send a new neighbor who wants to mail a letter, and why?' Have students write one sentence.

  3. Play 'Where should I go?' Read cards such as 'I want to borrow a book,' and have students hold up matching place cards.

  4. Have students make a picture guide for a new family with one local place, its name, and a reason to visit.
