These Common Core Standards posters for fourth 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 4 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 was over the moon when I found this product, and even more excited when I saw it was only $10. I just started teaching 4th grade right after Thanksgiving and have been struggling to write objectives with Common Core. I love this product, now just to buy another cartridge of ink to print it on. I'm printing them on card stock and laminating them so they will last. Thanks again!

I like the half-page size, but also wish that there was a "individual student" size for the corner of a student desk.

You're in luck! You can use Adobe Reader to print smaller sizes of the posters. There's instructions on how to do it over on my blog.

I wish the standards were written in more kid friendly language. I have ELLs and I find I often have to restate the "We can" statements. It would be nice if the statements were bigger so as to be seen from further away.

Mr. G,
I just downloaded your 4th grade common core standards and am very impressed. However, I noticed a typo (or what appears to be) on Writing 4.5...it seems there is no space between "trying a" on the top I can statement. Just wanted to give you a heads up on that. Will leave feedback on your product page, but wanted to share this with you...Nancy

OMG. Is see it too. I will fix those right away. I'm a little shocked because I proofread a lot. It's possible something weird happened when I used find and replace to change "I" to "we."

I'm interested in purchasing this. It looks great! Do you have this available in a font that does not mix upper and lowercase letters?
February 20, 2012
Teacher Galaxy (TpT Seller)
Hi Lisa,
That's a good question. The cover page/thumbnail is a little misleading. Most of (90%) of the text in the posters doesn't mix upper and lower case. The text of the "we can" or "I can" standard doesn't mix it at all. Some of the themes mix it, but not all. (I'm planning to include a few more themes in the next few weeks. I'll make sure some of those aren't mixed.
There is some mixing of upper and lower case in the font I used in the "captions" that accompany some of the illustrations. (That font is just so darned cute.)
Hope this helps. Happy President's day!
