About this worksheet

Community helpers are people whose jobs make a town work: they care for people and pets, deliver mail, bake bread and keep children safe. Third graders learn to name these jobs, say what each worker does and explain how the jobs depend on each other. On this sheet your child looks at pictures of eight helpers, drawn from seventeen across the six versions, and writes the name of each job from a clue sentence.

Building Confidence gives the most direct clues, On Level describes where and when the worker works, and Challenge Me describes the work without the usual job words. Ask your child which of these helpers they have met this week.
