Welcome to the home of FFSD ELA. This page is a work in progress, but the initial pieces have been added to help you plan for the 2014-2015 school year. Please visit often to look for updated resources for your grade level and to share your resources with others.
Please Note: These are working and in some cases, draft documents. They will help guide us towards unifying our K-12 ELA instruction but as you work with them, if you find errors or have suggestions for improvement, please email Jessica Bitting. Please be patient...the grade level curriculum teams are working hard to put together more detailed documents and resources, but it all takes time. We are working as fast as we can! Thanks!

Important Documents:
- FFSD ELA Priority Standards: These are the standards that are the focus for assessment and mastery for our students. All standards should still be taught, but these are the ones that should receive extra attention for instruction & mastery.
- Missouri Learning Standards (CCSS) Placemats: All the grade level standards for each grade on one page. (1st & 2nd Grade: Complete, 3-12: being updated)
- Videos of Reading and Writing Workshop in Action
- Common Core Standards Progression Website-This website has all of the standards in a dynamic format that allow you to select multiple grade levels to view at the same time so you can see how the standards progress from grade to grade. It also allow you to "highlight changes" from grade to grade to allow you to see where the changes in the standards take place.
