"I Can ... "

Walking up and down the halls of Ridgeview you may have noticed teachers have "I Can.." statements on whiteboards and walls. What you may not know is they are the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in kid speak! As each teacher plans their daily lessons they consider the objective or "big idea" being taught. Depending on the lesson, teachers break the ideas down into smaller parts, and write them on the board as an "I Can" phrase. Students always know what they are learning and teachers always keep the steps to accomplish the CCSS goals in front of them.
