What This Cluster Means

What Students Need to Do

Students ask questions about school workers and use photos or short fact cards to find answers. They draw, label, dictate, or write facts and opinions with reasons. They share their work and say where they found a fact.

What Mastery Looks Like

A student puts a fact into their own words instead of copying the card. They label a drawing, name their source, and explain an opinion with a reason.

Common Misconceptions

Students may copy a fact card word for word. They may give an opinion without a reason, or name a source that does not support their fact.

How to Assess It

Read aloud a card: 'The librarian helps children find books.' Ask students to draw and label the librarian, restate the fact, name the card as their source, and answer 'Should we visit the library more often?' with a reason.

Ways to Teach It

  1. Give pairs photos and fact cards about school workers; have them sort facts into a two-column chart and label a drawing.

  2. Ask, 'Which school worker would you thank, and why?' Have children dictate or write a reason using a fact card.

  3. Play Source Match: children match each fact to a school photo or fact card, then say, 'I learned this from ...'

  4. Read the school office sign together, then make a visitor guide showing where the office is and naming the sign as the source.
