Integrated activities help students practice many CC State Standards simultaneously. Since the standards are meant to be integrated, it is ideal to create activities that encourage students to use descriptive language, have collaborative conversations, read or be read to and have discussions where questions are asked and answered. And let's not forget to write about it all! So here are the integrated activities for Treasures Unit 2 for Grade 1. Included are integrated lesson ideas for the ma

This unit introduces young students to modern inventions, who creates them and why. It also encourages students to think about what they might invent, if they could. It challenges students to problem solve, come up with creative solutions and to write and present them to the class. Oh, yes and they also get to construct a model out of everyday, easy to obtain materials. This unit integrates many CC standards together and challenges the thinking of the student.

Reading and writing conferences, workshops or cafes are a great way to understand each student's learning style and problems and determine how to individualize instruction. I have included instructions on how to conduct both reading and writing conferences. I have also included conference forms that are aligned to Common Core and doubles as a formative assessment. These can be used for grades 1 and 2 and may even work for grade 3.

Guided reading for the Common Core means paying closer attention to how students are using those Reading Foundations standards we are teaching them. In addition to the new form I use, I have included a short explanation for each component on the form as a powerpoint. Included on the new form I have developed: Common Core standards used a place to circle the type of book, informational or literature book level and title lesson focus notes on students reading quick assessment on the foundationa

Have you ever thought that the Common Core State Standards were what you have always taught? I have and I have to admit that I was wrong. What these standards look like in the classroom is different than what I thought. Now that I have actually used the standards and written Common Core curriculum simultaneously, I have a better understanding of what the CCSS really say between the lines. This presentation is what I learned from the Language standards and explains how much higher they are

In part 2, I interpret the standards for Speaking and Listening from a student and/or teacher point of view. Most of the standards are really composite standards with many sub-standards or sub-skills embedded within. I try to take each standard for each grade level and help teachers understand the language within them. I have included a bulleted list of sub-skills and interpretation of the skills for each standard and each grade that may help teachers comprehend the standards so that they

Formative assessments are great ways to see if a student has achieved the skills needed to meet the CCSS. The CCSS are end outcome skills that show the students have deep understanding of the language arts skills. I use this checklist to help me to see if the student is learning the skills needed to succeed in the English Language Arts. I used the language from the CCSS but broke them down into subskills that are easier to recognize. I keep a binder with a copy of this checklist for each st

I wrote the first grade CCSS curriculum maps for my district in 2011 and field tested them in my own classroom in 2011-12. It was humbling to learn that I had much to learn about teaching to these standards. I learned that the standards moved me to change the way I taught because the students had to think and express themselves at a much higher level in all of the language arts content areas. My students ended at or far above grade level in the language arts. I have listed some of the lesso
