What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students name ways people help their community. They connect a person, such as a nurse or firefighter, to the service that person provides.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can look at a picture of a nurse and say that a nurse cares for sick people. They can also name a service provided by a firefighter, police officer, or mayor.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may name a workplace, such as a hospital, instead of saying what a person does there. They may think every community helper responds to emergencies.
How to Assess It
- Show pictures of a firefighter, nurse, and mayor. Ask, “Pick two. How does each person help the community?”

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs picture cards of community members and service cards, then have them match each person to a service.
Ask, “Who could help if someone felt sick?” Have students draw that person and tell a partner what they do.
Play picture bingo: call out a service, such as putting out fires, and have students cover the matching person.
Show photos of a local clinic, fire station, and city hall, then ask who works there and what they do.
