Fifth Grade Math Workshop- What Does it Look Like and Sound Like?
Standards Based Report Cards
The information in the paragraph below was in last week's letter as well.
As you may know, Pennsylvania adopted the PA Core in 2010. The standards indicate what all students in each grade level should know and be able to do by the end of that school year. In the WCASD, our administrators and educators have aligned our curriculum to the PA-CC standards. For initial information, please see this Standards-Based Report Card informational newsletter.
