Easy to Implement
I like that I can easily implement this as a daily routine without much extra prep and helps students keep ALL skills fresh.
A helpful review and remediation
Using this for my Spanish immersion students to help tighten up some of their English writing. All the examples and practice saved me time, layed out the rules and uses for kids, and acted as a great resource. Will use again.
Daily Math Spiral
Great spiral review but was a little too hard for my kiddos and didn't align well to our sequence
