Navigating the document…Navigating the document…Knowing where to find the information is

just as important as knowing the information. A question can be answered easily and effectively when one knows how to use the available tools.

Getting started…Getting started…

Find your copy of the CCSSM in your CCLM binder.

Search with others at your tables (groups of 2, 3, or 4) to find the answers to the Scavenger Hunt.

Keep track of your findings as best as you can in the space provided – but feel free to use the back if necessary.

Turn and talk…Turn and talk…What’s an “ah-ha” you have about

the K-8 standards?

An “Oh no!”
