Since Saturdays are busy days for families with kids, I'm going to keep it short on Saturdays during our 31 days together, and just post resources.
Today's resource is from the National Parent Teacher Association. It is a series of quick, 2-page guides for each grade level. They're also available for the ELA standards ... and are available in Espanol.
To be perfectly honest, there are some key bits missing (like the Standards for Mathematical Practice--our mysterious friends I keep alluding to, but not telling you about, to keep you coming back for more--ha!), but they're a REALLY great first step to thinking about the Common Core from a parent's perspective, since the PTA is really all about connecting parents and their kids' education.
Check out these short grade-level guides here.
And don't forget about yesterday's math task! I'll be doing a follow-up post tomorrow about the problem posed, and it will be much more fun if you've had a chance to think about it a little on your own first :)
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!
