Unit 2 is now complete and available here. Let’s take a closer look at what is included!
Here is the breakdown of the major components of each unit.
The six-week unit is meant to be taught bi-weekly (twice a week) with 25-minute lessons. I know that your time is valuable and you need to make the most of every minute, so each lesson is jam packed with content and engagement.
The lessons are quick-paced, written in teacher language, and primary-friendly. You could give these plans to a sub or student teacher, and there would be no question as to what they need to do! It’s all there for you.
Here are the components of the unit:
A full Teacher Guide to help you plan:
Texts for read-alouds:
Print and use *complete* Lesson Plans that mirror best practices in primary instruction:
Anchor Charts and TONS of materials and activities to guide your teaching:

A COMPLETE UNIT Powerpoint to guide your teaching during EACH and EVERY Lesson!
