Assessment: Community Helpers and Digital Responsibility

 Introduction

This post describes how students will be assessed on their learning from the lesson. The assessment focuses on two key areas: understanding community helpers and demonstrating safe and respectful behavior when using digital tools. The assessment methods are designed to be age-appropriate, engaging, and aligned with the goals of second-grade learning.

What Students Will Be Assessed On
