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

Just a heads up- This product does not contain an answer-key. I know those are a bit harder to craft for certain subjects as opposed to others like Mathematics, but for self-evaluation this product will be difficult to use.
Otherwise, excellent materials that we're happy with. We will just have to be crafting our own answer keys.
Hello, Garett.
Yes, an traditional answer key is not applicable for this resource since the work is open-ended. However, completed sample pages are included for each activity.
What fonts did you use for this? Thanks!
Hello. Festivo Letters and Century Gothic
I want to do the spiral-bound option. How do I know the best way to print it?
There is a printing guide towards the beginning of the PDF file, as well as notations on how to print each foldable page.
I have a 7th grader who, at the very least, is a little behind in grammar and could use a solid review. How many lessons are in each interactive notebook? Is it possible for us to start with the 4th-grade notebook and then work our way through the 5th, 6th, and maybe even 7th in one school year?
Hi there! Each Language Interactive Notebook includes 30 activities. Honestly, I wouldn't worry too much about them being "behind." There is a "race to nowhere" happening in a lot of brick-and-mortar schools that is not serving our children very well. I recommend checking out some of our free grammar and language units to get a better feel of what would be the best place to start for her. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Teacher-Thrive/Price-Range/Free/Search:grammar?ref=filter/price

Our resources are based on common core standards.
Can this be used in a composition book?
Yes, absolutely! There are instructions included on how to use these with a composition notebook.
I am trying to decide which grade level to purchase, do you recommend the same level notebook as grammar units? I have 5th grade special education students that are at least 1 grade level below peers.
Thanks for reaching out! Only you know your students, so I would say it is definitely at your discretion. However, this resource is included in the 4th Grade Grammar bundle, so if you were planning on purchasing the 4th Grade Grammar units, this INB would correlate with those directly.
Is there a cover page for this that can be printed? I could not find one, but also went through a lot of pages so I definitely could have missed something!
Hello! Since these are designed to fit into a notebook, there is not a cover page included.
"Do you have How-To videos for each piece?"
My students are making a mess with them. They are hard ever correct. No matter how much I demonstrate for them. If I am not standing over them or completing the assignment with them, they don't make the page correctly. I have printed directed, written directions. I just want to be able to leave an ipad at the center with the video on repeat. Can you make some how to videos please? Like Erin Cobb did for her Interactive Reading Literature Notebook.
Hello! Unfortunately, I don’t have videos for these.
I would also like to see the two formats separated for printing. It is VERY time consuming to print a page, skip a few pages and print again, etc. Thanks! Please let us know when this version is available.
Will do. You’ll get an email when the resource has been updated.
