Teaching tips & learning objectives

Teaching tips

  • Adjust the month rows in Excel to match your district calendar before the year starts; the map is one editable worksheet

  • Use a month's row as the checklist when writing that month's lesson plans, since all nine subject columns for the month sit side by side

  • Highlight or annotate cells as standards are taught to turn the map into a running coverage record for the year

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Which science units appear, and when do they fall in the year?

Ecosystems and biodiversity open the fall (2-LS2, 2-LS4), Earth's place in the universe and Earth's systems run through mid-fall (2-ESS1, 2-ESS2), matter and its interactions arrive in winter (2-PS1), and K-2 engineering design threads through the winter months (K-2-ETS1).

Do the cells give full standard wording or just codes?

Full wording. Each cell spells out the complete standard text — for example, the fall math cells explain three-digit place value with the 706-equals-7-hundreds example — with framework codes such as 2.NBT and 2-ESS1 alongside.
