Common Core....

Last year I started working with another teacher from East Providence and two teachers from Pawtucket to create a scope and sequence for the second grade Common Core Standards. I was lucky to work some amazing teachers and I think we have created a teacher friendly yet rigorous document. The one page below was created as a quick reference for each child. If the child mastered the standard it can be recorded on this paper. The current teacher can use it for reference during intervention grouping and then it can be passed onto the next years teacher. It is important to note that this is NOT from the Common Core Standards materials- this is something we created to aid us in our classrooms.
