This resource of Jessica’s is fantastic (as usual). Each set makes everything so much easier to plan and organize. The pacing of the lessons is excellent, is easy to follow, and comprehensive. The posters and graphic organizers are engaging and helpful.

I loved the other units that I had previously bought, so I decided to purchase the whole bundle. I've been using it almost exclusively this last nine weeks, and I can see my students' understanding growing.

The BEST! This writing program has great ideas and also gives detailed lesson plans on HOW to teach your students to be better writers! Amazing!

Once again Jessica Tobin hits the 2nd grade curriculum out of the park! I have purchased all of her ELA standards lessons and now the available math. The content is rigorous and relative. I feel like I have covered every aspect of the standard when I've completed a Tobin lesson!

You must purchase Jessica Tobin's resources! Just do it so you can save your life and bring joy and engagement to your students. Bonus, wow your evaluators!
