Me, my family and my class for the youngest learners: study cards a grown-up can read aloud, the tricky ones, a practice quiz at three levels — Foundation, On-Level, and Challenge — and a lab where you sort home from school, label a classroom map, put your day in order, and graph how big our families are. Work here, or print it and use a crayon — both count.
Two kids. One likes soccer and pizza. The other likes soccer and tacos.
You can be alike AND different from the same person. The middle is where you match; the outside is where you do not. Both are true at once — you never have to pick one.
Two things people get wrong
⚠️People often think…
If two people are different, they cannot be alike.
They can be both. You and a friend might both love recess and want completely different snacks. Being different in one way does not cancel being alike in another.
Both can be true at once.
⚠️People often think…
A real family is a mom, a dad and kids.
Families come in every shape — one grown-up, grandparents raising kids, foster and adoptive families, big ones and small ones. What makes it a family is that they love you and take care of you.
Love and care make a family.
Worth knowing cold
Home and school, side by side
Some things belong to one place, some to the other, and a lot belong to both.
HomeWhere your family is. Sleeping, meals together, the people who take care of you.
SchoolWhere your class is. A teacher, lessons, recess, a room with your name in it.
BothHelping, taking turns, kind words, rules, cleaning up. These are not school things or home things — they are both.
Every family countsBig, small, one grown-up or four, grandparents, foster, adopted. If they love you and care for you, that is a family.
Me, family, class, alike, different, help
1Watch one
Is helping a home thing or a school thing?
Think about home: you help clear the table, feed a pet, pick up toys.
Now think about school: you help push in chairs, hand out papers, hold a door.
It happens in both places.
So: BOTH. Some things are not one or the other. ✓

What makes a group of people a family?
I want a hint first
It is not how many people there are. It is how they treat you.
Where this goes
Where this lives
Making a new friend, joining a group at recess, noticing what you have in common with someone who seems very different from you.
What this feeds
Next unit is rules and fair choices — how a lot of people share one place.
Name one way you are alike and one way you are different from a friend.
One card at a time — tap “Show me” to check yourself, then Next. Start at Foundation; when those feel easy, climb.
Helpful Hints
🪜 Me, then my family, then my class — the ladder
I am one of a kind → my family takes care of me and I have jobs at home → my class learns together and I have jobs at school → we are alike in some ways and different in others → helping and kind words make a good day for everyone.
Me, family, class, alike, different, help.
🤝 The whole idea
You belong to a family and a class. Both work best when everyone helps, takes turns and uses kind words — and being different from each other is part of what makes them good.
Help, take turns, kind words.
⚠️ Tricky ones
You can be alike AND different from the same person. Both are true.
Every kind of family is a family — if they love you and care for you.
Kindness and helping are HOME and SCHOOL things — both.

Say your day in order?
Find the door and your seat on a room map?

Independent means you got it right on the first tap; supported means you got it after the explain-and-retry, or marked ‘I had it’ on a revealed answer. Both count, and neither is a grade. If your teacher asks, copy the row or show them this screen.
