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

Hi! I was just getting ready to print the sketch notes page to use this week, but there is not a student version. It looks like there is one until you try to print it...it only prints with the answers. The page is not filled in until you click on print, then all of the answers pop up. I have never seen that happen before. Would you please add the student page to the file or send to me via email? Thank you!
You can find instructions and help for printing resources in the TPT Help Center.
I have purchased a couple of your grammar units and a math unit. I love the sketch notes. I am wondering if you have the colored completed page that you showed on the preview to be used as an anchor chart? I would like to print and display it in my classroom. Thank you for your incredible work!! This resource is such a complete resource, and you are quickly becoming the first TPT creator that I go to first!!
Hello, Lauren.
Thank you for the kind words. Unfortunately, I don't have colored versions of the sketchnotes in my grammar units.
Hello,
Thank you SO much for your resources! The sketch notes on this unit appear blank before printing but upon printing, the note paper is filled in with the words already on it. Is there a way to get a blank sketch note document?
Thank you for reaching out! I just tested the current file and everything is printing correctly. Please ensure you have the most up-to-date file if this is something you purchased a while ago.
Some PDFs with a lot of graphics may look fine on your screen, but may not print out correctly.

Hello,
I purchased your Third Grade Grammar and Language Unit on Suffixes and there is no printable version of the Sketch Notes for students to fill-in. There is a printable answer key, but I'm looking for the printable Sketch Notes Suffix sheet for students to fill in. Can you please assist or send it to me? I've been through all the files in this unit and it isn't there. When I purchased the Prefix unit from you earlier this year a Sketch Note Sheet was provided for students to fill in and I assumed this would be the case for the Suffix unit too.
Thanks for reaching out! The sketch notes are located in the zip folder in a file titled "04SuffixesSketchNotes.pdf". The answer key is on page one, and the student sheet is on page two.
