    Under “Ta & Titi”
    It says: “Some fo these materials may be used in Grade K.” Did you mean Grade 1? Or did you mean that you might also use them in Grade K and bring them back in Grade 1 for different purpose?
    Did you want a separate heading, “Pr4.3” for the last bullet (Engine, Engine)?
    Why is there a horizontal line separating Pr4.3 from the rest of the Cn standards? Is it because they are different concepts, not ta & titi?

    Under “2/4 meter, repeat”
    Maybe specify that Pease Porridge is your example for 2/4 and Sorida is your example for repeat.

    Under “Dynamics and Tempo”
    Just for consistency, your other Assessment headings are bigger and not indented in the other sections so maybe make this one match.
