This 3-page 1st grade social studies sheet asks where community helpers work. Page 1 pairs six helpers (librarian, nurse, firefighter, teacher, baker and mail carrier) with six buildings lettered A to F, by drawing a line or writing the letter. Page 2 turns to school, with three writing questions about a helper students see every day. The key gives the six matches and sample answers for the writing.
“Match each community helper to the place where they work.”
Page 1 pairs six helpers with the library, hospital, fire station, school, bakery and post office.
“Describe how a helper at school helps students.”
Page 2 asks students to name a helper, say what the helper does and say how the helper helps them.
Six helpers numbered 1 to 6 and six buildings lettered A to F in mixed order, each with a picture and a name.
Three questions with writing lines: name a helper at your school, what this helper does and how this helper helps you. A picture of a school sits beside the first question.
The six matches and sample answers to the three questions, with a teacher as the example.
School walk first
Walk the building and point out where the librarian and the other staff work. Page 2 is easier to answer after that.
Share and compare
Have partners read question 3 to each other. Students often choose different helpers, so the class ends up with a longer list than any one sheet.
Lines or letters
Let students choose between drawing lines and writing the letter. The letter option is easier for students who lose track of a long line.
