Wisconsin State Standards: Here you will find what Wisconsin Students are
expected to know and demonstrate. If you go to the subject standards and
click on Grade 4, you will see what children are to be able to do by 4th
Grade. Of course, we are only at the Grade 1 and 2 level, but you can see
the greater goals directing the academic experiences we give our children.
