Like most schools, we are moving to the Common Core State Standards this year. We have done a lot of professional development with the standards, and I'm familiar with what they are, but this summer I want to really dig into them and see what I have that can stay, what needs to go, and what needs to be added. I made these checklists to help me with this process. I don't know about ya'll, but my pinterest is overflowing with great ideas. And if I'm not careful, that is exactly where those ideas stay. One of the big motivations behind designing these checklists was to give myself some space to jot these activities down and to get them off the internet and into my classroom. These lists contain the strand code, the written standard, a place to write notes, a place to record dates taught/assessed, and a place to record matching lesson numbers from your school's curriculum. Another part of my design was to break each standard down if it had multiple parts, so I have made separate note boxes for each part, if it applies. Sometimes one standard contains 2-3 concepts, and each concept may have a different lesson, so I have taken that into consideration when designing this. I tend to think in parts like this, so it's nice to have space designated for that. If you are interested in these checklists, you can find them in my TPT store!
