Common Core Checklists Updates & Classroom Friendly Pencil Sharpener Giveaway

This summer I've been busy updating a few of my products.  I've been most busy updating my common core checklists which can be very helpful in lesson planning and keeping track of the standards that you address in the classroom.  Check out some of the changes to my Tracking Common Core Checklists.  I've added the following to my CCSS Tracking Common Core Checklists:

-Suggestions for use page
-Standards checklists (by domain) to track standards and assist in lesson planning
-Class checklist to track mastery of standards for each student
-Notes section after each domain to take notes throughout the year of important information and ideas
- For math a Standards for Mathematical Practice checklist has been included to track how often you address the Standards for Mathematical Practice

Write in each students name and track whether or not they have mastered the standard.

Print this Standards for Mathematical Practice checklist each month to track how often you address the SMPs in class.

There are two versions available:  CCSS standard code and Georgia CCSS standard code.   Georgia codes their standards a bit differently from the original common core standards. The standards are the same except Georgia added a standard for printing legibly. The standard codes are written differently.

                                                                                    For example,

ELACC5RL3 is English Language Arts Common Core, 5th Grade, Reading Literary, standard number 3. The CCSS code for the same standard is CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.5.3.   Same standard just different coding!

This standards checklist is Georgia code specific.







My Georgia checklists do not have the class checklist or the Standards for Mathematical Practice checklist!  These checklists can be found in my CCSS checklists.

Checklists  are available for K-5 in English Language Arts and Math.  You can also save money by purchasing English Language Arts and Math bundles.

Now It's Giveaway Time!

Recently I wrote a review on the Classroom Friendly Supplies pencil sharpener...AWESOME!!!! Here's your chance to win one of your own just in time for back to school!  Click here if you want to read my review for the Classroom Friendly Supplies pencil sharpener!  Good luck!
