Great Practice
I'm using this to review capitalization rules for my students with writing goals on their IEP. A lot of opportunities for practice!
Great Resource
This is a great resource for an overall review of parts of speech.
Useful Product
I like what this product covers. It gives the students a bit of each common core standard to review after it has been taught in class. I found that I will use this later in the school year for homework, so I purchased the 4th grade review for the beginning of 5th grade.
Useful Product
I use this weekly for homework for the beginning of 5th grade. I find it very useful.
Fun for students
Took a while to get the hang of the activity but we enjoyed!
