ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS
• Where did the CCSS come from and why are they important?
• What are the CCSS really about? How are they different from your child’s previous experiences?
• What can we expect from the Smarter Balanced Assessment?
• What are the myths that surround the CCSS?

EXAMPLE OF GRADE 2-3 CURRENT TEXT COMPLEXITY
Williams, Vera. A Chair for My MotherNew York: Greenwillow Books, 1982.
My mother works as a waitress in the Blue Tile Diner. After school sometimes I go to meet her there. Then her boss, Josephine, gives me a job too.
I wash the salts and peppers and fill the ketchups. One time I peeled all the onions for the onion soup. When I finish, Josephine says, “Good work, honey,” and pays me. And every time, I put half of my money into the jar.

EXAMPLE OF GRADE 3 COMMON CORE GRADE LEVEL COMPLEXITY
MacLachlan, Patricia. Sarah, Plain and TallNew York: HarperCollins, 1985
From Chapter I
I wiped my hands on my apron and went to the window. Outside, the prairie reached out and touched the places where the sky came down. Though the winter was nearly over, there were patches of snow everywhere. I looked at the long dirt road that crawled across the plains, remembering the morning that Mama had died, cruel and sunny. They had come for her in a wagon and taken her away to be buried. And then the cousins and aunts and uncles had come and tried to fill up the house. But they couldn’t.
Slowly, one by one, they left. And then the days seemed long and dark like winter days, even though it wasn’t winter. And Papa didn’t sing.

• Expect students to compose arguments and opinions, informative/explanatory pieces, and narrative texts
• Focus on the use of reason and evidence to substantiate an argument or claim
• Emphasize ability to conduct research – short projects and sustained inquiry
• Require students to incorporate technology as they create, refine, and collaborate on writing

OVERVIEW OF SPEAKING AND LISTENING AND LANGUAGE STRANDS
Speaking and Listening • Focus on speaking and listening in a range of settings, both
formal and informal – academic, small-group, whole-class discussions
• Emphasize effective communication practices
• Require interpretation and analysis of message as presented through oral, visual, or multimodal formats
Language• Include conventions for writing and speaking
• Highlight the importance of vocabulary acquisition through a mix of conversation, direct instruction, and reading
• To be addressed in context of reading, writing, speaking and listening

MATHEMATICS
oFocus strongly where the Standards focus
oCoherence: Think across grades, and link to major topics within grades
oRigor: Require fluency, application, and deep understanding

STANDARDS FOR MATHEMATICAL PRACTICE
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the
reasoning of others. 4. Model with mathematics. 5. Use appropriate tools strategically. 6. Attend to precision. 7. Look for and make use of structure. 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated
reasoning
