Teacher Feedback
- “Thanks for this extremely thorough unit. It’s hard to find units with Canadian content, especially in the intermediate grades.”
- “Amazing unit that included everything I needed for a subject that I don’t feel as confident teaching. I loved the balance of reading and structured tasks, with open-ended and inquiry projects. Would highly recommend!”
- “I was hesitant at first to purchase this unit due to the cost; however, I am more than happy I decided to purchase this product. First off, the resource is well organized and provides lots of detail throughout each lesson. Second, there are supporting videos, ELL/Resource suggestions and the handy option of downloading the files directly to Google classroom. This unit has saved me hours of time! Thank you so much for creating this time saver and I look forward to using this in the fall.”
- “There are a lot of great activities and lessons I wouldn’t have even thought of! I use this with my lessons to engage the kids and have them leave my classroom talking about the lesson!”
