Use this template to keep all your plans for the week organized! Make a copy of the template for each week, fill in your subjects, and collaborate with your grade level team.

This template saves you time and energy!

Use these slides to display SGI (Small Group Instruction) groups to your students. Giving the groups a cute animal name, along with the visual on the board will allow for students to understand where they should go and make for a quick transition -- whether that transition is for across grade-level groups or within your own classroom! Also included are slides to print out and hang in the group's location, or where you want each group to line up for the transition into small groups.
