Organized around the study of figurative language, including simile, metaphor, and personification, this unit explores the idea that language can change the way we think about the world by creating new images and connections in our minds.
The Student Literature Workbook eBook includes fillable student activity pdfs that support lessons and each unit’s short stories and poems. The workbook engages students in exploring carefully selected, challenging works of literature from various times, cultures, and genres. They include:
Habia una vez . . . There lived a girl named Petra Pena, who wanted nothing more than to be a storyteller, like her abuelita. But Petra's world is ending. Earth has been destroyed by a comet, and only a few hundred scientists and their children - among them Petra and her family - have been chosen to journey to a new planet. They are the ones who must carry on the human race. Hundreds of years later, Petra wakes to this new planet - and the discovery that she is the only person who remembers Earth. A sinister Co

In this unit, students are encouraged to study patterns and determine how they change, how they can be extended or repeated and/or how they grow. They then move beyond this to organize the information systematically and analyze it to develop generalizations about the mathematical relationships in the patterns. There is a strong focus on mathematical discourse revolving around how to verbalize a generalization.
The Teacher Guide is designed to provide background informati
In this unit, students are introduced to ratios, rates, proportional reasoning, similarity and congruence. Students explore ratio as a comparison of two quantities. They discover that if the ratio between the corresponding side lengths and angle measures of two figures is 1:1 (i.e., the measures are identical), then the geometric figures are congruent. They learn that for two figures to be similar, their corresponding side lengths must be in proportion and their corresponding angles must be congruent. Students also explore the relationship between congruence and similarity, learning that al
In 1940, Hans and Margret Rey fled their Paris home as the German army advanced. They began their harrowing journey on bicycles, pedaling to Southern France with children?s book manuscripts among their few possessions.
Louise Borden combed primary resources, including Hans Rey?s pocket diaries, to tell this dramatic true story. Archival materials introduce readers to the world of Hans and Margret Rey while Allan Drummond dramatically and colorfully illustrates their warti
