The following is a guide for choosing targeted objectives and assessing the students’ learning. These grade level expectations for Grades 3-8 are not to be taught in isolation. This guide identifies featured skills that will be assessed at the end of the appropriate quarter. Each assessment is cumulative, so all the expectations need to continue to spiral throughout the year with a new group of identified skills featured. Some GLEs targeted in previous grades may also be assessed. The March CMT will test all skills expected to be mastered.  These skills come from the reading comprehension GLEs. 

The * indicates a featured skill for the quarter.
