Common Core Standards

Alright, alright. So first of all I know it's been a while since I've posted on here. But as you know, everyone's life gets busy! That is an understatement for me. Not only am I in class or doing homework all the time, but I'm also in marching band, and it's FOOTBALL season, so that means that I get to watch my brother play on the varsity team as well as watch U of M, the Lions, and of course CMU. BUT, enough excuses...

Today I have a useful link to share with everyone. I found this while perusing Pinterest. (Of course!)

This link provides -as the picture suggests- a kid-friendly version of the common core standards. These standards are very controversial among teachers and future teachers alike. However, for most of us it's the new reality so we might as well get used to it. This site is great! It provides PDF versions of the common core standards for English/Language Arts, as well as Math, and Spanish. They're broken down by grade which makes it very easy to find what you're looking for. Then when you open the document, you can read the list just as easily as the students can.

This website is a useful resource for students, teachers, and parents alike! It takes a topic that can be confusing, and makes it easy to understand. It's great for parents because it helps them know what their kids should be learning, so they can assist if their kids get behind, or maybe talk to the teacher if they have concerns.

I hope you all find this link as useful as I did!

Enjoy!
