Preparing for Our Week
Standards, Unpacking Documents, Assessments, and Instructional Resources:
- Google folders have been created for each design team and will house most of the resources you will need for the week. If you prefer to have hard copies, please print the materials in your folder and bring them with you each day.
Investigations Manuals:
- Please ensure you are able to access the online version of your manuals using the Pearson E-text app. You will need access to view the units as you plan.
- Please ensure you are able to access Pearson SuccessNet. We will use this site to link and/or create assessment items for the maps.
- If you are unable to access either of the aforementioned resources, please click on the link below for a step by step video for how to gain access.
