💻 What’s Included:

• ✅ 29 click-and-go lessons on the student website, with a class login
• ✅ An editable Teaching Guide in Google Slides (download it as PowerPoint or PDF)
• ✅ Unit overviews with key vocabulary
• ✅ ISTE 2024 standards on every lesson, plus CSTA, Texas TEKS and Common Core in the lesson checklist
• ✅ A lesson checklist to track your year, with spaces for dates taught and notes
• ✅ Homeschool Setup and Homeschool Adjustments pages

A Teaching Guide for the whole year. Every grade comes with an editable Teaching Guide in Google Slides. It opens with a Year at a Glance, Standards at a Glance and student login steps, then gives you a plan for every lesson: why it matters, the I Can statements, the lesson flow (matching what students see on screen), what to prep, tricky spots and ideas for support and extension. Make your own copy to edit it, print the pages you need, or keep it digital.

Homeschooling? The lessons work at home as written. Each Teaching Guide includes a Homeschool Setup page and a list of the few lessons that need a small change at home, like polling family members instead of classmates.

📘 How It Works:

1. You’ll receive access to a class login account that all students use—no individual logins required

2. Choose from two easy student access options: Share a secure Auto Login URL for instant access

   Or have students manually log in using a class username and password (great for keyboarding practice!)

3. Simply guide students to the week’s lesson page and collect completed assignments as needed

4. Lessons are designed to be teacher-directed but student-driven, with built-in structure and flexibility
