I’ve had a lot of questions about how I organize my Common Core Standards
and Essential Questions.
I display them on posters which are hot glued to ribbon. The standards are attached with velcro so that they are easy to change in and out. (Please excuse the bad picture above. The standards shown are from the 1st grade set. Notice that the clipart images match the standard and that the essential question clipart also matches. This helps the little ones who can’t read understand the standard by using the picture clue). THESE ARE AVAILABLE AS WE CAN AND I CAN STATEMENTS SO THAT YOU CAN CHOOSE WHICH ONES TO PRINT AND DISPLAY.
To store the standards I have them organized in a plastic container. The Standards and Questions are stored together so that I can easily grab the ones I need. I cut colored cardstock to separate them by strand. Click HERE to download the labels for free. I just glued them to the front of the cardstock.
Above you can see the label for the exact container I used. I bought it at Target and the standards fit perfectly.
Don’t have the posters? Click on the links below to read what others are saying about them.
They are available for Kindergarten and First Grade.

Also, I just wanted to let you know about my favorite book character, Mrs. Wishy Washy!
You can view her Facebook page HERE My kids love reading all about her adventures and there are lots of new stories out about her. Check them out! They are a must read for any K-1 classroom.

Thank you for the labels. I will have to check out the First Grade Common Core posters. We are just beginning to use the Common Core standards this year in my district, so I definitely need at set of these.

July 22 at 6:29 pmThis looks awesome! We use essential questions and are making the transition to common core as well. I will be looking into these when I can get teachers pay teachers to work!
Thank you so much!

July 22 at 8:10 pmMy administration will not allow us to post the standards at "we can" statements. Could you offer yours so they could be edited? I know several teachers that would buy them. Thank you so much! Your work is awesome!!

July 22 at 11:09 pmI got these for my room last year. I also would use them in the hallway displays so that administration could see that the "cute" things that we do ARE common core aligned. It was nice to take them off my posters and just move them out onto the hallway displays when we were done teaching the unit but still displaying what we had done. I also left the ones up around my room that we do daily (stations, calendar etc.). Great product with many ways to use it!

July 25 at 4:16 amI'm sure this might be a dumb question that has been asked often- what font is that?

August 2 at 2:59 pmThanks for the great idea. This will help me this year focus on the Common Core standards and will help students know what standard they are learning.
