Below are the learning objectives written as “I Can Statements” that your child needs to know and be able to do by the end of the school year. The state adopted Common Core State Standards have given us direction for the English/language arts and mathematics standards. State standards in all other areas have guided the development of “I Can Statements” for those areas.
