I was able to use these materials immediately. They were well received by my fifth grade students. The book by Chris Van Allsburg kept them spell bond as well.

Was your lesson plan created with Common Core in mind?

I teach in Texas, so we don't use Common Core, however I've perused it, and I think you'll find plenty of objectives to cover in most all of my products.
