Love it so much!
I love Doodle Pages and Guided Notes, because for someone like me who struggles with executive functioning, it makes note-taking fun and enjoyable for me and my students! I do wish the powerpoints were just one slideshow rather than split apart, but I would just combine the slides together and be done with it. I'm sure it has something to do with size and all of that.
Helpful resource
good resource for students to practice toward the end of the year. This is not something that can be used right away at the beginning of 4th before they learn the content.
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.
Easy to Use and Makes a Difference!
This was a perfect download, print, and go activity. Easy to implement with my class!
Great Resource
It genuinely made things easier. It’s rare to find something that delivers both quality and reliability
