Reviews:

Very useful - I teach grades 1-3 at my church and currently, that means 6-7 boys. Very occasionally I have a couple of girls but pretty much it is boys. My boys often have behavioral and concentration issues (they mostly have unstable family situations and learning disabilities). I have found that these lesson plans give me enough leeway to keep their interest and provide productive interaction. This is not the first download I have used; I greatly appreciate them. Thank you! - Joanne P.
