Saturday Resource


I'm catching up after a long weekend! Also, I'm going to scale back just a bit for my own sake--but I still have MANY blog posts planned (more than 31, really), and I will keep posting, but perhaps not just every day.

ON TO THE RESOURCE!

Today's resource is just for parents. It comes to us from the Council of Great City Schools. Much like last Saturday's National PTA resource, it gives you a nice grade-level breakdown of what your kiddo will be learning that year, and suggestions for how to engage with teachers.

What I really like about these guides is that they're longer than just 2 pages (these are 6), and each picks out a few key topics, and shows you what content came before, and what content will come after. This way, you get a sense for the flow and the continuum of learning, from grade to grade.

Here's an example from the third grade guide:

These guides also give additional resources at the end, often tailored to the content relevant to your kid's specific grade.

Check out all the various grade level descriptions here.

Are you enjoying learning about CCSSM? There are more 31 days posts here. And you can join us on facebook and twitter, for conversations between blog posts, and after October! This week's Tuesday night math chat will be on our facebook page, at 9p ET!
