What This Standard Means

What Students Need to Do

Students name things school and community workers provide, such as a cafeteria meal or bread from a bakery. They also name ways workers help people, such as a crossing guard helping children cross.

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can match a baker with bread and a crossing guard with help crossing the street. They can explain that bread is a thing, while helping someone cross is an action.

Common Misconceptions

Students may call the bus a service instead of the ride the driver provides. They may think workers only provide things they sell, so they overlook cafeteria meals.

How to Assess It

Show pictures of a cafeteria cook and a crossing guard. Ask, "What does each worker provide, and which example is a thing you can hold?"

Ways to Teach It

  1. Hand out a toy loaf and worker picture cards; children match the loaf to the baker and act out a crossing guard helping someone cross.

  2. Ask, "What does our cafeteria worker give us, and what does our custodian do for us?"

  3. Play worker bingo with cook, nurse, baker, and crossing guard cards; call out "bread," "checkup," or "help crossing" for children to mark.

  4. Use a grocery store flyer; circle bread the store worker provides, then name the cashier's help at checkout.
