Loved the resource but please change the answer for C and D around for the practice assessment number 4. Ick is the answer but that is letter D and my students picked up on the bad word it made.
Several Errors
I haven't used this product in a long time and as I was going through it, I found several errors. There are 2 choices or wrong choices in quite a few. I would suggest that you go through all of them to see if there are 2 options that are both correct and a few of them have the answers in the wrong order.
I was looking forward to using this resource. I was disappointed to find that although it claims to be for a full week, it is actually only 4 pages per week. If I want to use the 5th day resource, it requires purchasing yet another product by the creator. That should be stated up front. I am now forced to decide to either waste my money and not use the product at all, or spend even more money for the day 5 activities.
I didn't find this resource made for distance teaching. It's more like the other products made for in-person teaching. I was not really happy with the purchase, because I thought that with the title it was more complete in the PowerPoint when it was not.
This resource was a bit complicated and I did not feel that it made it easy to use for 5th grade. I used it a few times, but I wish it would be 100% aligned with common core requirements, which I feel it was not

Hello, I am correcting my assessments and struggling with question 1. The answer key says that the introductory element, "To get better," (sentence 1) is a clause. Can you tell me why this is true? To me, it mirrors the "To get in shape for the Olympics," phrase from the PowerPoint. Nothing like being humbled by 5th-grade grammar! :) Thank you.
Hello, Laura! Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention. This was an error in the assessment answer key. It should have been labeled "phrase." I apologize for this inconvenience.
Hello, I just went through the PowerPoint for this lesson with my students, and there are a couple of mistakes on Slide 10 that I wanted to inform you of:
"In the spring, we will plant strawberries in garden." -there needs to be a word before garden like "our garden," "the garden," etc.
and
"Surprisingly, the sugar-free desserts where delicious." -it should be "were" not "where"
Hello! Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention. We have corrected the errors and apologize for the inconvenience they caused you.
Hi, I am having difficulty with the digital version of the task cards. I made a copy and assigned in my student's google classroom. They completed the task and submitted it but they cannot see their accuracy and their score does not show up for me. I am rather new using google classroom so hoping you can maybe help. I have purchased several of these from you. Thank you.
Hi There! Please check out this short video tutorial that will walk you through the steps: https://youtu.be/hNqZElFIQ3I
In your sketch notes, you've stated that an introductory clause can stand alone. However, the examples you give begin with dependent clauses, and these cannot stand alone. I may have misunderstood the notes...could you clarify this for me? Thanks!
