Reflection: What I learned about standards and benchmarks is that each grade level has different teaching and learning standards for their students although some are very similar. Although each grade must meet their standards it can be changed depending on the student. I learned that with standards they can be difficult to follow but are required and different states and schools may have different standards than Iowa. I could have done a little better on this assignment because I only did one standard instead of two. I also could have organized the assignment better.
