Addressing the cognitive demands of standards and assessment can by tough, but this tool can help.

  1. I love the Cabot Cheese resources. I love that there are activities for a variety of grade levels, as I teach all grade levels in an alternative school.

  2. I think the videos are AWESOME!!!. And they go by so fast that the students will stay focused so as not to miss a single beat! I believe this is a very brilliant project with the reources for the videos.

  3. Say CHEESE!!!!!!
    What a wonderful prize. I would love to win the cheese package and monies. I teach kindergarten in a school where most of my children are hungry. I could use the cheese and activities to teach good and healthy snacks. What a blessing it would be to win the classroom cash. I would use it to buy games and center activities that would promote health and common core topics for my kindergarten children. Thanks, Cabot and Mailbox magazine.

  7. Such wonderful choices – but I really liked the Studies Weekly video. We used to purchase these papers and they were awesome. Would love to use them again!

  8. Love your blog I have a folder on my desktop that I download the free Common Core activities highlighted each month. When I am looking for activities for my sub-folder or set work I have a folder full of activities all in one place.

    With a click and thanks to modern technology I have mini units sent to the printer and printed in minutes.

  9. I would love to win $500 and to try out the teacher’s tape because almost every day I am having to put the poster back on the wall.
