Not appropriate for beginning of the year
This is very hard for me to implement until almost the third quarter. Week one has decimals, and my fourth graders don't learn about decimals until the third quarter. It also jumps into division and bigger multiplication early. I wish it had a few weeks of third-grade review.
Affixes Resource Pack
This was not exactly what I was looking for for a supplemental resource for my 5th grade class.
Not a "spiral" review
I wanted to like this so much because it was exactly what I wanted. But, Week 1 already starts talking about coordinate grids and volume, standards that aren't covered until later on in the school year. I wish it was organized by the order the standards are taught throughout the school year instead of introducing end-of-year concepts in the first few weeks.
Great Activities, but Limited Direct Instruction
This resource is advertised as a week-long unit, but in practice it functions more like one day of direct instruction followed by several activity days. There is only one PowerPoint for teaching, with the remaining materials focused on practice.
I expected a more balanced structure with instruction and assessment spread across multiple days. For example, I was able to use the PowerPoint and the second day’s worksheet within a single class period, and the “scoot” activity worked well for a separate day. However, I’m unsure how I’ll incorporate the remaining sketch notes, which might have been more effective if directly integrated into the initial instruction.
One major area for improvement is alignment between instruction and assessment. The assessments and task cards include concepts like “to be” verbs and auxiliary verbs, but these are not introduced or modeled in the PowerPoint. This created confusion for my students and could easily be developed into an additional day of instruction.
Overall, the materials are well-designed and engaging, but the unit would benefit from more comprehensive instruction and clearer alignment between teaching and assessment.
This starts off Running
I thought the assessments would get progressively harder but I do not feel I could start these assessments with my students week 1. I may be able to start them mid year

does this pull directly from the week's questions or are they new questions?
Hello! I can no longer use the pens on my Smartboard with this product. It says the editor has turned off commenting. I have other products of yours that also will not let me write on them anymore, like the 8th Grade Daily Language bell ringer. Can you resend the files with commenting allowed so that we can write on them? Thank you!
Hmmm. That's odd since I have never changed the PDF permissions. I tried to reset the permissions to explicitly allow for commenting. Please let me know if this doesn't resolve the issue.
Is there an answer key provided for these?
Do you have the Google form version of the 8th grade weekly language assessments?
Is there a bundle with this and the spiral review?
Unfortunately, TpT doesn't have a function that allows us to easily create custom bundles in a way that ensures customers always have the latest version of their resources, so we don't offer this option on TpT. We do have a Build Your Own Bundle option on our off-site store that you can check out here: https://teacherthrive.com/byob/
The preview shows your 6th Grade assessment. Do you have a preview of your 8th grade assessment? Thanks!
We're sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you so much for pointing this out! We have fixed the preview to reflect the 8th Grade version.
Doing this as a weekly assessment each Friday, how much time should you give students to complete this in class? Would 20 minutes be too much time?
Hello! The first few weeks can take a bit of time since you are walking students through the different problems. However, they catch on very quickly, and then it should only take about 10 minutes.
Does this packet include the answers like the Daily Language review?
Hello! Yes, answer keys are included.
I would pay good money for an 8th grade Google Classroom ready version!
