Why is my grade level borrowing a prior grade level book from Units of Study? During early implementation years, instead of creating and writing "If…Then… units," the Teachers College recommends that using these prior grade level units acts as a reinforcement of strategies and skills needed to continue building foundations of greater understanding within the workshop model. In other words, we are better together!
