    I loved this but would like to expand this to the secondary level to continue to grow the kids with these skills. I would also like to see how it can be differentiated to a math class environment.

  7. Patricia – MCALLEN ISD (verified owner) –

    This course was interesting, but I wish that it would have incorporated more reading skills to go along with the texts. It focused more on social-emotional activities, which were great, but not the emphasis of instruction.

    I loved the use of Children’s Literature.

  9. Rodney – HILLSBORO CITY (verified owner) –
