These are very helpful, Darcy!! Thank you!! With my 3 preps,150+ students and seven 46-min periods a day (4-min passing periods) with one 46-min preparation period, I just don't have time to do this kind of planning. If I had more of these, I would be able to implement the program more consistently. Thanks so much, and please send more!!
