Confessions of a Venting Freak: CCSS

Class Discussion

Common Core State Standard (CCSS)

Okay... Uff not going to lie I'm so confused on this topic but I did understand a few things that I'm going point out that I understood...These standards define what knowledge and skills, students need during elementary and secondary schooling in order to be able to complete and succeed in post-secondary education and work force. Meaning that the CCSS establishes critical thinking, reasoning, technology literacy,etc. Teachers need to achieve this in there classroom, which does NOT effect their way of teaching, what they can teach, to what extent, or how to really manage your classroom. So it's not just all fun and game folks we as teacher have our work cut out for us; But i'm going to give you the perfect presentation of what exactly we need to do as figuring out how to do a CCSS that my teacher gave us---> How to read and unpack CCSS <---

So she said to make a lesson plan according to the CCSS and she gave us a link so when can get an idea on how to start!

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.K.2

Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English capitalization, punctuation, and spelling when writing.

Skills:

Capitalization

Lesson: Kindergarten students will be given a few sentences to begin learning how to capitalized a sentence, use correct punctuation and of course will be checked for their spelling. We will be using simple short words like hat, cat, mat, etc. The students would use cut up letters and punctuation marks that will be given out to put on the board to identify the correct letter or punctuation on the sentence. Also we will have morning messages where students will identify where is the capital letters, punctuations, commas, exclamation points and so on, Also with every right answer they will get to do a "smarty pants" dance were they will fill exited to try their best in learning a new material.
