Common Core State Standards

The Common Core State Standards provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them. The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers. With American students fully prepared for the future, our communities will be best positioned to compete successfully in the global economy.

I have attached a parent friendly version for parents. They do include the Kindergarten and First grade CCSS. You may download them for a hard copy or, read them right here under the sub pages.These are what the children should be able to accomplish by the end of the school year.
