ITES Activity 3- Mary Somers

The ITES curriculum has five main standards for each grade level K-5:

SI: Sources of Information
IN: Informational Text
TT: Technology as a Tool
RP: Research Process
SE: Safety and Ethical Issues



For the Common Core Reading curriclum there are 4 main standards for each grade level K-5:
Key Ideas and Details
Craft and Structure
Integration of Knowledge and Ideas
Range of Reading and Level of Text Complexity

For the Common Core Math curriculum there are 4 main standards for each grade level K-5:
K only - Counting and Cardinality
Operations and Algebraic Thinking
Number and Operations
Measurement and Data
Geometry

Therefore, each area has 4 or 5 main standards. The overall standards are the same in each grade level K-5. Hopefully, having the same standards in each grade level will help students and teachers make connections. We can build a foundation for each grade level to build upon.
