More FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Ⓠ There is SO much included, how do I fit it all in?
Ⓐ: Please do NOT feel like you have to do everything we put into the units. We try to include everything that a teacher might want, but we realize it is A LOT! We suggest combing through the units, looking at the expectations of your school/district/state, and deciding which activities would be best for your students. We do NOT recommend printing class sets of everything, hoping to get to it all. Choose the things that you think YOUR students need, that will be most beneficial, and start there! Several components can be used during stations, for morning work, or even as homework. Others you may choose to just set aside for another time or not use at all! That’s okay! We want this to work for you AND your students!
Ⓠ Do you have a year overview and planning guide?
Ⓐ: Yes! We sure do! You can find the list of books for the year, the skills we are going to hit, and the standards (Common Core and TEKS) we will cover below!
Ⓠ What is included in the second grade units
