PK-2 Lesson Table
This table connects each Michigan Education Technology Standard (MET) to a corresponding lesson. Grades K, 1 and 2 each have a separate column. The goal is to cover each MET at least once by the end of 2nd grade. A green MET code indicates a link to a separate web page for that grade level. Some web pages have multiple lessons for multiple lower elementary grade levels.
