I Can with Common Core Review, Freebie and Give Away!

Friends~I am so excited to share something new I found!  I have been working really hard this year to help my students understand what the Common Core is all about.  I want them to know the reason behind the new standards and why they are posted in my classroom. 

Check out this poster that I used at the beginning of the year to explain the Common Core to my students.

The picture above is part of my focus board.  It is not as pretty as I want it but it is super functional because everything is magnetic and I can also write on the board with dry erase.  I change it each week based on what I am teaching and what we struggled with last week.  

I post each standard with the subject and underneath I post I Can standards that are done in child friendly terms.  

Well,  last week Carson Dellosa contacted me about reviewing one of their new products for The Common Core and I said heck ya!
  I was so excited to check out their 

The Complete Common Core State Standards 

Kit Pocket Chart Cards.  

Look just at the adorable package I found on my front porch last Friday!

The cards come in a sturdy box with dividers for each standard for Math and ELA.  Each card has the standard in words and the number on one side. The other side has an I CAN standard written in child friendly terms. (Easy to read font for kids!) The dividers are labeled with the Acronym for the standard and a short blurb.  The dividers even have a quick guide on the front giving a sample of what was included in each standard.
  Watch the video below to take a quick tour.  

I love how I can keep them organized in the box!

Each card and divider are laminated for durability. 

Once I got it into my classroom I knew just what I was going to do with it!  The pocket chart was a perfect fit for my Daily 5 Center so I posted the standards that we were working on in the pocket chart.  

I also have been wanting to place I Can standards in my math center.  I had a small pocket chart already there holding their center cards and numbers so I knew the cards would fit perfectly!

I even pulled one out for each of my reading groups and we reviewed what standard we were working on and used highlighting tape to mark important words in the standard. 

I am really impressed with the durability and clarity of the standard cards in this kit. Be sure to head over and check them out!
They are offered for grades K-5!
