Thanksgiving is not always the last Thursday of the month, as this year proves. President Franklin D. Roosevelt designated the fourth Thursday of the month as Thanksgiving Day. I had to fix several of the pages of this set because of this inaccuracy--especially the calendar directions! I like the style and variety of activities in the set. I am interested in getting the sets for the rest of the months this school year.

For more than 35 years I have taught primary grades in a K-8 elementary district in the greater Los Angeles area. I have been teaching third grade since 1991. I also serve as pianist for our school's Glee Club. I have developed a very teacher-friendly series of 32- page reproducible instructional units which include one booklet for each school month (Sept.--June), 3 multicultural units--(Martin Luther King's Birthday, Cinco de Mayo, and Chinese New Year). My USA geography 32 -page units cover all major regions of the United States. These units have been in use since 1983, and have been very popular with both students and teachers. They have withstood the "test of time" and are not trendy and easily outdated.
