It's the teaching around the standards that counts!
If you're an upper-elementary teacher, we have a Common Core Companion for you, too! What makes this book "that version of the standards you wish you had?" It's the way Leslie Blauman translates each and every standard for reading, writing, speaking and listening, language, and foundational skills into the day-to-day "what you do."
It's all here:
The standards for literature and informational texts put side by side for easier planning
More than a dozen teaching ideas for each standard
Recommendations on how to cultivate critical habits of mind
A glossary of academic language for each standard
An online bank of graphic organizers, reproducibles, charts, and more
What makes TheCommon Core Companion, Grades K-2, "that version of the standards you wish you had"? The way it translates each and every standard into the day-to-day "what you do."
