TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID...
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐The Biography Unit was just what I was looking for to teach such a complex topic. Writing a Biography with 2nd graders is not an easy task and this unit made it much more manageable, and the students were successful!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I love Thrifty in Third Grade’s writing and math materials. I purchased guided math first and then had to buy the writing. I bought personal narratives for 2nd grade and then went back for several other writing units. It is easy to follow for both the teacher and kids. It is also very interactive.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐What a great resource for teaching biographies! It's very well thought out! Thank you!
