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

I love your resources. Will you be creating a 6th-grade grammar bundle? Your resources make teaching grammar less daunting.
Hello, Chi! Thanks for the kind words. I don't have plans to create a 6th grade grammar bundle at the moment, though I do appreciate your interest.
Hello! I previously purchased the 5th grade Grammar bundle that included PPTs, task cards, practice worksheet, assessment and the interactive notebook. Is this just the interactive notebook?
Do you have a bundle that includes the same materials but for 6th grade?
Hello, Stephanie. This is the 6th-grade interactive notebook, which will contain different materials from those in the 5th-grade grammar bundle.
How much time should be given to work on each activity?
Hello! It can vary, but I’d say between 15-30 minutes.
Hi!
I am working on pronouns and I believe there is an error with "Intensive Pronouns". If I am correct, the examples are almost all REFLEXIVE pronouns, with the exception of "himself" being intensive. Is there a lesson that covers both intensive and reflexive? Perhaps I am wrong, but I believe this to be the case.
•Reflexive pronouns serve as the object of a transitive verb when the object is the same person or thing as the subject (e.g., “I believe in myself”).
•Intensive pronouns are combined with another noun or pronoun to emphasize it (“I myself wrote the code”).
To differentiate an intensive pronoun from a reflexive pronoun, remove it from the sentence; if it’s an intensive pronoun, the sentence will still make sense. If the sentence no longer makes sense when the pronoun is removed, it’s a reflexive pronoun.
Is there a PPT that goes with this and the spiral review? I already have the spiral reviews and assessments but am looking for a slideshow to accompany it during lessons.
Hello Ashely,
Thanks for the question!
The spiral reviews do not come with PowerPoint lessons. Those are available in my grammar units, located at the top of my store.
Just purchased your 6th and 7th grade interactive notebooks. In lieu of printing out the whole packet, I want to only print the templates for option 2 (for the composition notebook). After the direction page for each activity there is a page(s) that doesn't say if its for option 1 or option 2. Does this page need to be printed for both options? I am wanting my kids to write directly on their notebook pages so I'm confused if I need to print this page. It almost looks to be a base page.
Thank You,
Debbie
Thanks for reaching out! Those pages are for both options. They are the base page.
Do the interactive pages from 5th, 6th, and 7th grade repeat? Or would it be ok to have all three of these grades use them?
Thanks for reaching out! No, the content for each grade level is completely different.
My sixth graders and I love your resource, but it seems that Option 2 on subjective pronouns does not fit the base...when I made copies for the kids, the little flaps and such did not fit on the base, which was made to fit Option 1 only. I just wanted you to be aware of this oversight. It still worked, but the kids would have appreciated their design fitting snugly vs being off. Hope that makes sense. (The base that you have on page 10 for the first/second/third person pronouns, to be glued at the top of the students' page, works only for Option 1. It is too large for Option 2.)

I have loved your Grade Five Grammar bundle. Is there any way you are coming out with a grade six one that is similar? One that includes PPTs?
Thanks for your interest and for reaching out! Unfortunately, we do not have plans to make a 6th-grade version at this time.
Do you have slides that are a companion to this resource? Love this btw!
Hi Vicky! The 6th Grade Daily Language Spiral Review pairs perfectly with the Interactive Notebook!
