What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students start with a big question, such as, 'How do people help our school?' They ask smaller questions about a person or job. They use a photo or a staff member's answer to learn more.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student asks, 'What does the custodian clean?' They use a photo or the custodian's answer to respond. They explain how that work helps the school.
Common Misconceptions
- Some students ask questions that do not help with the class question, such as, 'What is your favorite color?' Others guess an answer instead of checking a photo or asking the person.
How to Assess It
- Show a photo of a custodian sweeping. Ask, 'What question could help us learn how this person helps our school?' Have students ask a question and use the photo to answer it.

Show a librarian photo and ask, 'What could we ask to learn how the librarian helps our school?' Write students' questions on chart paper.
Read two cards, 'What does the nurse do?' and 'What is your favorite snack?'; students choose the question that helps them learn about the nurse's job.
Visit the school office; students ask, 'How do you help students?' and draw one thing they learned from the answer.
