The common core standards were Teacher, Coach, Friend
Leads the class to a better tomorrow
created to fulfill the demand of
the state that each student from
K-12 is college and career ready in
literacy no later than the end of
highschool. Currently, the Council
of the Chief of State School
Officers and the National
Governers Association set and
maintain these standards based on
the preexisting knowledge of the
decades long work of crafting
high quality educational standards. Qu estins?

These standards are research and
evidence based, align with college
and work expectations, are
rigorous, and internationally
benchmarked.

English Standards
The grade level that I want to teach is
third grade. Third grade was when I
fell in love with reading and writing.
So, to me the most significant
standard in third grade is of literacy.
The literacy standard can be found in
the table below.
My Style of Teaching
Journal Entries
Journals will be a large part of the writing used in the
classroom. The student will be given thirty minutes to
read after recess. This will allow them to bring
themselves back into the classroom mode by
requiring them to be quiet. After the student has
done the allotted thirty minutes of reading they will
be given fifteen minutes to write a summary of what
they have just read, questions that they hope will be
answered in the upcoming chapter, answer the
questions that they had previously asked, and they
will be asked to have a character sheet in which the
main characters that are mentioned in the book are
described.
Conferences
Conferences will be held every quarter in which
both the parent and students are expected to show
up. I will then discuss the students work with the
parent. This is a time in which I want to show off
the hard work that your child is putting forth. As
well as a time to discuss any concerns. However, if
your student is struggling please dont hesitate to
give me a call and we can discuss strategies of
improvement.

True Knowledge Exists in Knowing that you

Know Nothing. (Socrates)

Standard Ask and answer questions to
One demonstrate understanding of a
text, referring explicitly to the
text as the basis for the answers.
Standard Recount stories, including
Two fables, folktales, and myths from
diverse cultures; determine the
central message, lesson, or moral
and explain how it is conveyed
through key details in the text.
Standard Describe characters in a story
Three (e.g., their traits, motivations, or
feelings) and explain how their
actions contribute to the
sequence of events.
My students will be encouraged to seek help when
they have difficulty with assignments. I will be
available after school and during lunch as a source of
aid for any questions pertaining to curriculum learned
in or out of the classroom. I want my students to be
aware that it is better to admit that you know nothing
as Socrates does then do nothing.
