Thanks for all your hard work...makes my job easier.
I really feel that all your resources are fantastic, but when you have a chance to offer a percentage off to your buyers, the ones that are faithful to you, you should not raise the price and then mark it as a sale.
We still are using many of the stories from Harcourt and are using the research and writing extension activities to provide the nonfiction component. So glad you can still incorporate our units, too. Hollis and Gretchen
Love your activities for the Trophies series.
Thank you!

I absolutely LOVE your units! We have had this reading series for several years, suffice to say I am bored with all of my activities. Your units have given the stories new life! Thank you!
Lindsey,
We are so pleased to help reinvigorate the stories for you! We all need a boost to keep up our enthusiasm. Thanks for finding us on TPT. Hollis and Gretchen

This is my first year teaching second grade. Your units have made my job fun and less stressful.
We realize the need for hands-on activities that will motivate students to think about the story more in depth. So glad we can help you through this year! Hollis and Gretchen

Great job! Will probably end up getting all the units sooner or later. Thank you!
They will all be available in Themes or sold individually. You save some money when you buy them in the bundled Harcourt Themes.
Welcome to our world of trying to think of fun activities that teach. Hollis and Gretchen

The antonym and vocabulary activities are a wonderful way for students to practice skills. Students have so much fun that they don't realize they are working ;

Gretchen and Holly have taught over a combined 45 years! We love hands on, creative activities with a flair that promote deep thinking and allow our students to show their individualities.
