Hi there, i just purchased this product. I teach in Canada, where we spell color with a 'u'. Do you have a Canadian version of your sheets that teach about skin colour?
I'm looking forward to implementing your unit. Thanks for the sale, too!

I don't, but I don't mind updating it and emailing you a copy. Just send me an email with the pages and spellings you'd like changed and I send you the new pages that way. My email is jessica_rosace@my.uri.edu

Hi there, Do you have a preview set up for your World Traveller unit? I'd like to see/know what the specifics of the response sheets look like, and whether they'd be appropriate for my 2nd grade class.
Thanks, Carrie
Just posted a preview. The response sheets are all very similar. I think the literacy writing sheet activities might be appropriate for second grade, I'm just not sure if the math would be. Hope this was helpful. Let me know if I can do anything else.
I just purchased this Unit and LOVE it! I am wondering if you have any plans to update it with any info on South America, Australia and Antarctica? Just curious. Love all the info it has.
Most likely I won't be updating it anytime soon since I just did a big update. I am going to use nonfiction books from my library when I do the continents for this unit. Sorry!
I taught preschool and really enjoyed it. This year I started teaching Kindergarten and it has been such a great experience. I am learning so much each day and it is so rewarding.
