The Learning Target deck is available for students in Kindergarten through 3rd grade. Each card is aligned to a Common Core Standard, but structured to translate the requirements into accessible and specific activities, to acheive these standards.
The visual design of the cards uses icons, symbols and color coding to guide you to quickly sort and select the right card for the right time. For example, the routines for the learning activity are represented by an icon on the front of the card, as you may want a storytime card for bedtime or a discussion card for the next car trip.
Some cards feature an anchor symbol, indicating that they align with a Common Core essential standard. These standards focus on key concepts that are foundational for future learning. Essential standards are addressed either through a Project series of cards, or a Habit card, which is designed to be revisited throughout the year.
The back of the card provides a ready-to-use script to guide your conversation and a carefully designed activity that you can use to present and practice the skill or knowledge required to acheive the standard.
It’s important to realize that these are guides to start your journey. You bring the potential to encourage exploration and to build on the knowledge and skills in a way that fits your family.
