How can you assure students reach the level of rigor in the benchmark? What does “meeting the standard look like?
- You can assure students meet each level of rigor in the benchmark by providing them with modeling, guided instructions and using graphic organizers to assist with developing their understanding. Meeting the standards is when the student is able to “produce clear and coherent writing in which the development and organization are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience”.

I noticed the buildup of skills between six and eighth grade were Progressive first helping to establish ideas and then expanding on and being able to provide rationale by the time you got to eighth grade

Having most of my experiences in the various roles I've held over the years I've seen a lot. I am well versed in the upper elementary standards, but will be teaching sixth grade this fall. What I notced studetns have to be proficient at by the time they reach me in sixth grade is huge. To be able to scaffold students who ay struggle in those areas to bring them into sixth grade level will be an asset I have for my students as I've spent so much time in upper elementary. I also noticed that the standards become some what broader in the secondary level as more is from the foundational period of students lives.

Kindergarten: Fill in the blanks by choosing the right sight words for example ___ am Sam. (I, Me, My)

Grade 1: Writing a full sentence. Like

Where did the story take place? Framing it and writing it in order.

Grade 2: Writing full paragraph for questions like where did the story take place? Who are the characters? How did the story end?

I noticed that using the internet to collaborate with other was an expected skill starting in the 6th grade. I also noticed that they wanted students to write to be published. To put their ideas out not jus to their peers and teachers but into the world.

Consists of opinion, narrative, and informative writing. Students grow during K-2 in skills such as transition words, organization of ideas, and structuring paragraphs. By the end of second grade students should be able to write in clear and purposeful sentences.

1.) Reading (Foundational Skills) Phonological Awareness: Recognizing rhymes, counting syllables, and identifying sounds at the beginning, middle, and end. Phonics & Word Recognition: Understanding letter-sound connections, decoding words, and recognizing sight words. Fluency: Reading aloud accurately, at a good pace, and with expression.

2.) Reading (Literature & Informational Text) Spotting key ideas and details (like characters, settings, and main ideas). Grasping story structure (beginning, middle, end). Making simple inferences and asking/answering questions about the texts. Comparing and contrasting different texts (by 2nd grade).

3.) Writing Crafting opinion pieces with reasons and evidence (like, “I like dogs because…”). Informative writing: stating a topic and sharing facts. Narrative writing: creating stories with a clear sequence and details. Utilizing digital tools and starting research skills (like gathering facts).

4). Speaking & Listening Engaging in conversations and discussions. Listening to others and taking turns when speaking. Asking and answering questions to ensure understanding. Recounting or describing important details from books and personal experiences.

5.) Language Understanding grammar rules, capitalization, punctuation, and spelling.

Instructional Goals in K–2 Foster early reading confidence and comprehension. Enhance fine motor skills and sentence construction for writing. Promote expression, curiosity, and effective communication. Prepare students for the shift into grade 3, where reading to learn becomes key.

I notice that the writing skills for K-2 start with opinion writing and build with each grade level. The kindergarteners start with visual pictures and add words and sentences. The build-up of skills is apparent in the standards.

I notice how they want the children to start to draw, dictate and write about what they have read. Teacher have to continue to build on the information. Children have to learn to recall in order to things that when in in the reading. I start my 4 year old out which some of the requirements for kinder.

In 6-8th grade standards I looked at the expectations for the students as they progressed. When relating to what the expectations were for my 7th and 8th grade students in science, I noticed that student expectations should progress. Research should dive in deeper by the time they are in 8th grade.

I noticed that 6th-8th grade need to have an understanding of typing along with writing while citing and linking sources.

6th: Use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing as well as to interact and collaborate with others; demonstrate sufficient command of keyboarding skills to type a minimum

of three pages in a single sitting.

7th: Use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing and link to and cite sources as well as to interact and collaborate with others, including linking to and citing sources.

8th: Use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing and present the relationships between information and ideas efficiently as well

as to interact and collaborate with others.
