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

Hello,
I recently purchased the Titles of Works for 5th grade. My class noticed that when you have articles listed, you have typed the word "and" instead of "an." I was proud of my students for catching that typo.
Thank you so much for letting us know about the error! We have corrected and updated the resource. Please let us know if you need anything else.
Why is "Is A" in The Night Is A Big Black Cat capitalized. I understand "Is" is a verb, but "a" is an article and should be lowercase.
Thank you, we will look into this!
Can you please tell me where you sourced the information that title of all large works including television shows and other works need to be underlined? I have always learned that only book titles get underlined. Also, I just Googled this. All web sites say to italicize other titles when typing, but if italics aren't possible, use all caps in a social media message or quotations in a your written work. No source is saying to underline anything except book titles. Thank you.
Thanks for reaching out. These have been the standard punctuation rules for decades. If you do a web search for "punctuation titles," you will find several supporting sources. Here is one source: https://www.grammarly.com/blog/underline-or-italicize-book-titles/
