Learning Targets

The focus of each lesson in our class comes from learning target. Learning targets are taken from our standards and curriculum. To read about the current Indiana state standards, click here.  You will need to scroll down the Department of Education's website to find the specific standards for English/Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies.  An example of a learning target is I can count to 100 by 10s.

Student progress is shared through standards-based report cards. Report cards for kindergarten are provided in January and May.  For more information about standards-based report cards, click here.
