K-8 “I CANs!” are foundational Math and Language Arts skills written in student friendly language. These I CANs include the grade level skills students should strive to master by the end of the school year. We believe that students benefit when they take ownership of their learning. The “I CAN!” program encourages students to set educational goals and create plans to achieve those goals. The Homeschool ES has prizes that can be used to reward mastery. Each student will have their own I CAN folder to keep track of the I CANs being mastered.

Here you can find lists of all the grade level standards/I CANs for grades K-8.

Digital I CAN Folders/Trackers (link)  - You can use these to track your student progress in mastering their grade level I CANs! You can print them or make a copy of them in Google Drive to keep in your own Google Folder so that you can edit and mark your students' progress on your computer.

The following e-books have resources, lessons and activities for each I CAN in English Language Arts and Math. This is an easy and wonderful way of teaching each standard. It is also a great resource for those students who are struggling to master specific I CANs or standards.
