When I am in the classroom the students are working on their reading and writing skills. Specifically, I have noticed the students working well on Reading: Foundation Skills Standard 2. This standard works specifically with demonstrating an understanding of spoken words. The students use their poetry journals to find words that follow certain rules. They find words that contain long or short vowel sounds and words with a certain number of syllables.
I know that their teacher addresses many of the core standards but since dI am not there when they are done I can't say what they are or how she teaches them. When I have talked to her about standards and more specifically standardized testing she has various opinions. She likes that having state core standard keeps students on track and help eliminate the risk of students falling behind. That being said she does not believe that standardized tests should be given to the younger students because it puts to much pressure on them.
