OTHER THINGS TO CONSIDER
  • Duplicate student sheets.
  • You could have some classes start with Activity 1-2 and other classes do Activities 3-4. This would cut down on the amount of extra permanent equipment needed. The above lists assumes that all classes would be starting with Activity 1.
  • You may want to make extra paper copies of the Class Calendars if you are teaching more than two classes.
