NYS-Aligned Standard

K-1.CY.1 — Identify reasons for keeping information private. NYS Computer Science and Digital Fluency Learning Standards (2020)

Learning Objectives — “I Can” Statements

  • I can name information about me that should stay private.
  • I can tell the difference between something I can share and something I should keep private.
  • I can name a trusted grown-up I can ask when I am not sure.

Essential Question

What kinds of things about me should I keep private, and who can help me?

Lesson Sequence

Hook / Warm-Up (5 min)

Hold up a backpack. “We keep some things zipped up and safe inside. Our information has things we keep safe too.” Ask students to name something they keep safe at home.

Direct Instruction (10 min)

  1. Introduce private = just for me, my family, and trusted grown-ups.
  2. Show picture cards. Sort into Keep Private (full name, home address, phone number, password, photo) and Okay to Share (favorite color, favorite animal, favorite snack).
  3. Model the language: “My favorite color is okay to share. My home address I keep private.”

Guided Practice (10 min)

“Thumbs up / thumbs down” game: teacher names an item (favorite game, where I live, my password, my favorite book). Students show thumbs up (okay to share) or thumbs down (keep private) and say why.

Closure (5 min)

Each student names one thing they will keep private and one trusted grown-up they can ask for help.
