Discuss classroom helper jobs Have students brainstorm class helper jobs. These are jobs that change so that everyone gets a chance to do each job. When everyone contributes, the work gets done. It is good to share responsibilities.
Some jobs change often and some jobs stay the same for a long time.
Students discuss family roles Refer to the list of school jobs that do not change often. When people have jobs that stay the same, we sometimes use the word role. Have students suggest different roles of people in their families that help make their families work well. Referring to the list of family roles, have students tell who in their family does each one. Having different roles is a way to share responsibilities.
