In order to ensure that students were achieving the requirements of the standards, I posted daily objectives

(Learning targets) on the board and introduced students to the objective to guarantee that students knew exactly
what they were learning today and what the point of the days lessons were. Below are the listed Standards, their
description, and the daily objective that proved they satisfied the criteria of the standard. *Blooms=bolded*
