1. Being able to know your identity is a key concept in knowing what language to use and where to use it.
2. There are different levels that students build knowledge on as they grow their ability to connect their identify to where they need to use the language.

# data[].attributes.body
There are 5 standards.

# data[].attributes.body
The standard 1 language is what allows our students to communicate their wants, needs and understandings and then use this language for all of the other standards to build upon in each discipline.

Standard 1 is an underlying standard that provides a baseline for other standards to build off of. The visual representation of this is in figure two in the first article.

All of the expectations are shared from Kindergarten to Third grade.

Proper scaffolding works across content and across grade levels. So if we can find/create universal scaffolds or resources that we all use from K-3 we can help develop these skills in all of our students.

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder if we can create shared scaffolds for all teachers based on each of these language expectations so that students can see and use the same tools across grade levels. This will lead to greater student learning and independence, less planning and creating for teachers and more opportunities for grade level collaboration.
