⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "What an amazing resource! So thorough, engaging and so beautifully sequential. Thank you so much Aileen. This has refreshed and re-invigorated my first grade program and I am so excited to continue using it!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "This is fantastic! The plans are very thorough and contain the new arts standards as well as I can statements. I really like that you include the manipulatives (or a link) to what is needed each lesson. There are also many "extras" to help make 1st grade planning streamlined and "fun!" This is a great starting place to make adjustments as needed for your individual classes. I wish I had a resource like this 20 years ago when I was starting my teaching career!"
