Mutt-i-grees® and the Common Core Standards
The Mutt-i-grees® Curriculum is designed for use in various classroom settings and afterschool programs. It can be used on its own or integrated within core academic subject areas. Each lesson includes a selection of activities aligned with the Common Core State Standards Initiative. A team of teacher advisors has outlined some of the ways in which the Mutt-i-grees® Curriculum matches up with the Common Core, especially in the areas of Speaking & Listening, Language, Writing, and Reading of Informational Text. When teachers and students read fiction and informational trade books recommended in the Mutt-i-grees® Library, other Common Core State Standards, especially those focused on close reading should also be incorporated into those lessons as teachers see fit.
