Framework
By Lisa

This is an idea that some of our parish school's have also begun to use. I teach 4th grade and at the end of the year, we met with our 3rd grade teachers to give them a list of skills that the new third graders should be
capable of by the end of the year - thus coming to 4th grade ready. We rephrased the terms into "student-friendly" language. The fifth grade did the same for us. We plan to post that list on our walls.
An idea that I had for tracking benchmarks is to give the students a list to keep in a data folder and, as a skill is covered and/or mastered, the student could highlight the skill in their

own folder. This folder can be used as documentation of what you've covered and what the students have mastered.
