English-Language Arts Content Standards
Reading
1.0
Word Analysis, Fluency, and Systematic Vocabulary Development - Students understand the basic features of reading. They select letter patterns and know how to
translate them into spoken language by using phonics, syllabication, and word parts. They apply this knowledge to achieve fluent oral and silent reading.
Word Recognition
1.1
Read narrative and expository text aloud with grade-appropriate fluency and accuracy and with appropriate pacing, intonation, and expression.
Vocabulary and Concept Development
1.2
Apply knowledge of word origins, derivations, synonyms, antonyms, and idioms to determine the meaning of words and phrases.
1.3
Use knowledge of root words to determine the meaning of unknown words within a passage.
2.0
Reading Comprehension
Structural Features of Informational Materials
2.1
Identify structural patterns found in informational text (e.g., compare and contrast, cause and effect, sequential or chronological order, proposition and support) to
strengthen comprehension.
Comprehension and Analysis of Grade-Level-Appropriate Text
2.2
Use appropriate strategies when reading for different purposes (e.g., full comprehension, location of information, personal enjoyment).
2.3
Make and confirm predictions about text by using prior knowledge and ideas presented in the text itself, including illustrations, titles, topic sentences, important
words, and foreshadowing clues.
2.4
Evaluate new information and hypotheses by testing them against known information and ideas.
3.0
Literary Response and Analysis
3.2
Identify the main events of the plot, their causes, and the influence of each event on future actions.

2.1
Estimate and compute the sum or difference of whole numbers and positive decimals to two places.
3.1
Demonstrate an understanding of, and the ability to use, standard algorithms for the addition and subtraction of multidigit numbers.
Mathematical Reasoning
1.0 Students make decisions about how to approach problems:
1.1 Analyze problems by identifying relationships, distinguishing relevant from irrelevant information, sequencing and prioritizing information, and observation
patterns.
2.3 Use a variety of methods, such as words, numbers, symbols, charts, graphs, tables, diagrams, and models, to explain mathematical reasoning.
2.4 Express the solution clearly and logically by using the appropriate mathematical notation and terms and clear language; support solutions with evidence in both
verbal and symbolic work.
2.5 Indicate the relative advantages of exact and approximate solutions to problems and give answers to a specified degree of accuracy.
Science
3.a Students know ecosystems can be characterized by their living and nonliving components.
3.b Students know that in any particular environment, some kinds of plants and animals survive well, some survive less well, and some cannot survive at all.
