These Common Core Standards posters for second grade are unique because the concept of each standard is illustrated with a colorful graphic that helps students visualize the standard. The graphics are cute but not babyish. They don’t just decorate the poster; they truly VISUALIZE the concept of the standard, so students who don’t understand the text can figure it out by looking at the picture. Some of the standards even have more than one illustration to choose from. When I thought of more than one way to visualize a standard, I made an optional poster. I also provided optional posters in consideration of the ethnic diversity that may exist in your classroom. I took a lot of care to make sure these posters include pictures of boys and girls from a variety of ethnic backgrounds.
The illustrations are not the only thing about these posters to help your students understand the standard. The wording of the standard has been rewritten to make it kid-friendly, while still maintaining the intended meaning and academic rigor of the standard. I’ve substituted synonyms for complex academic words when possible, and I’ve broken the standard down into smaller chunks of meaning to make it easier to comprehend.
In addition to all the illustrated standards posters, there are over a dozen themes to choose from so you can hang these posters in a way that matches your classroom theme or color scheme. The themes include a title sheet that says “Common Core Standards” or “Grade 2 Performance Standards,” and subject headers that say “Math Standard” and “ELA Standard.” (If you need more specific headers like “Language,” “Writing” or “Reading,” just email me after you purchase, tell me the page number of the theme you are using, and I will make the headers and send them to you.)
Some of the themes are a bit hard to name because they are more a "style" than a theme. The best way to see them is to look at the free preview.
Here's a partial list:
Rock Star Theme
Monster Theme
Pirate Theme
Rainbow Theme
Planet Theme
Scrapbook Lettering Themes (5 of them)
Woodland Critters Theme
Cute Little Insects
Comic Book Theme
Retro Theme
I recently added a sunny ocean beach theme and a jungle/zoo theme. They aren’t included in this download but you can get them for free in my TPT store.
If there is a theme you want that you don’t find in this download or in my TPT store, email me and I will make it for you.
Everything in this poster kit can be printed on letter size (8.5” x 11”) paper. No complicated cutting is required. There are two standard posters per page to save paper. You just have to cut one time down the middle of the page to separate the posters.

I really like this resource! Can't wait to introduce them to my class. The seller notes that there are "I" and "we" statements. Just note that it's for EACH standard. I started printing and didn't realize that there were duplicates.

Back on October, I asked if you could create a western theme.I haven't seen any updates on the western theme or Florida Specific standards.
January 19, 2013
Teacher Galaxy (TpT Seller)
Hi. The Western theme is done. You can get it at this link below or just browse my store.
www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Common-Core-Standards-Posters-Western-Theme
I compared the Florida standards to the national ones and as far as I could tell, Florida didn't add to or change the standards. It's possible I missed something or didn't find the right Florida common core standards document that has the additional standards. If I'm mistaken, email me and I'll check it again.

Is there a way to have one standard on a page instead of the two? Looking forward to the western theme addition.
October 22, 2012
Teacher Galaxy (TpT Seller)
Unfortunately there's no way to do that without redesigning every page. I'll continue to look for a way to "trick" a printer into doing it and if I find a way I'll post the instructions on my blog.

Hello, I bought the Grade 2 CC posters. I need the Florida Specific standards.Is there a possibility that I could have a Western Theme or do you have something that Westernish(is that a word lol)? About how long will it take? Thanks, Grace Thanks for creating these I'm sure that you are going to sell many : )

Hi! A western theme is a great idea! I can get that and the Florida standards to you in about three weeks. Follow me so you'll get an email notification when I post them.

Hi, I just bought the grade 2 Illustrated CC posters. I need the North Carolina specific standards and also the specific headers. I would like the style started on page 22. Thanks so much!
October 18, 2012
Teacher Galaxy (TpT Seller)
Coming right up! I will get the headers to you within a few days. The standard posters will take about three weeks. You can contact me at steve.g.gipson@gmail.com if you need to in the meantime.

UPDATE 10/22 - The headings are done. I need your email address so I can send them to you :)

HI, I need 2nd grade but for reading only, do you sell the reading alone?
October 18, 2012
Teacher Galaxy (TpT Seller)
Hi Jennifer. Do you mean reading or English Language Arts? Sometimes those terms are used interchangeably. If you really only need the reading posters, I can send those posters to you for free. Contact me at steve.g.gipson@gmail.com to discuss.

I purchased the 2nd grade core standards but cannot locate the writing/language standards. Do you have those?
October 15, 2012
Teacher Galaxy (TpT Seller)
Hi,
I double checked and they are in there. The "I can" posters are on pages 101-104. The "we can" posters are on pages 132-135.
If those pages are missing from your document, try downloading the file again. You can do it in the "My Purchases" section of your dashboard.
If the problem continues, email me at steve.g.gipson@gmail.com and I'll email you those missing pages.

I purchased these and began to display them in my classroom and realized I need a heading for reading, writing, and language. Is it possible for me to change the ELA heading to the 3 other heading?
August 20, 2012
Teacher Galaxy (TpT Seller)
Let me know what theme/style you are using and I will make headers for those. Do you want them to say "Reading Standard" "Writing Standard" etc.?

I love your common core posters and appreciate all the work you did in making them. I noticed that you didn't include the substandards( ex. Reading Foundational Skills 2.3a, 2.3b etc.). Our school district requires us to post those as well. Have you made any posters of them? Are you planning on making them? I would be more than happy to purchase those as well.

Thanks for the feedback! I was thinking I might go back and add those later. Just to make sure we are talking about the same thing, are you talking about the bullet points at this link?

I don't, but it would be a lot of fun to make something like that. Are there national standards for those subjects?

I downloaded your preview today. I can tell you spent many hours developing the material. I did want you to know that people who download the preview and have a program to change it to a Word document, can remove the watermark and get the material for free. You may want to include less in the preview so people aren't able to receive your hard work for free. This has happened to me before.

I'm sorry! I really want to purchase this and still need a little more clarification....when you say that some "bullet points" for the ELA standards aren't included, do you mean that for example, ELACC2L1: a, b, c, d, e, f, g, etc. isn't inlcuded? Or, do you mean that bullet points such as the examples of plural nouns like, "(e.g., feet, children, teeth, mice, and fish)" isn't included?
Thanks!
Thanks!

No worries! <a href="http://www.corestandards.org/the-standards/english-language-arts-standards/speaking-and-listening/grade-2/">Have a look at this web page from the Common Core Standards State initiative web site.</a>
http://www.corestandards.org/the-standards/english-language-arts-standards/speaking-and-listening/grade-2/
Every standard preceded by a number (eg SL.2.1.)has a poster and is illustrated.
But the bulleted details like "Follow agreed-upon rules for discussions (e.g., gaining the..." don't have a poster or an illustration.
Hope this explanation helps :)

Do the posters also include the substandards, or the element for each standard?
July 9, 2012
Teacher Galaxy (TpT Seller)
They include all the numbered standards and substandards (eg 1.2, 1.3, 1.4.a, 1.4.b, 1.4.c). Some of the ELA standards have several bullet points. The bullet points are not included.
