    The content and presentation of the course itself was good. However, it was labeled as a course for Elementary. I teach first grade, so this system as described won’t work for me. However, I am thinking about how I could implement some of these ideas and adapt them to work for my first graders.

    Great course

  42. Marlene – CORPUS CHRISTI ISD (verified owner) –

    I like the idea in theory, but she did not really elaborate on all of the setup and preparations for each station – where did she get all of her materials? What is the time commitment for preparing each one? It seems like there were multiple components to each station. Buying all of those from TPT can quickly become cost prohibitive for many teachers.

  43. Douglas – RIPLEY-UNION-LEWIS-HUNTINGTON LOCAL (verified owner) –

    I think it’s fine, but geared to lower levels than what I teach.

    Easy suggestions for implementing language based centers
