  46. Katherine S. –

    This was wonderful for sub plans! Very organized. My students have autism and are working on a second grade level in math, but the ‘second grade’ level was way too hard for them. In my district, we don’t cover addition with regrouping until very late in second grade, certainly not by the start of October. That was my only issue. I was still able to use the first grade pages for sub plans, and they were clear and easy to follow.
