I pride myself in being a hands on educator, so creating worksheets is also contrary to what I do within my classroom.
However, I understand the necessity for our students to be able to perform well during high stakes testing.
So I have taken what I know about how students learn, and what we as educators need to get students where they need to be; and created thoughtful worksheets to help us all get to the next level.
The math worksheets have tons of hands on potential. The reading worksheets are meant to be discussion pieces that can be linked to real world experiences.
