Wetland Curriculum: Expectation Index

The first column indicates which grade level the activity is suited for. Next, is the activity�s number and it�s corresponding name. There is a brief description of of the activity and then the strand column indicates which of the strands this activity covers. The last three boxes deal with the specific expectations found in each of those strands. The 3 subheadings for the specific expectations are shown. Under each sub heading, a number is used to show which of the specific expectations are covered in the activity. for more information on how to read this chart click here.
