Yes! It gives you a good basline to a lesson, and you can use other resources within the website to add on to it.

Group 2

We found a lesson called No extra room on the mayflower. We could teach this because it fits perfectly to our theme but also has good resources for our students.

Group 6

2026-03-02 13:34:48 UTC

We liked the website. It is very organized and easy to navigate. The lessons and activities all have grade levels listed with them. They also have webinars listed with grades and times that you can register for on the website. However, we thought it could include more lessons for lower grade levels.

it gives a good starting point for lessons. We found one on farming and resources, we could talk about farming in PA.

Group 2

2026-03-02 13:35:44 UTC

We would give the website an A.

Group 11

2026-03-02 13:36:05 UTC

We would give it C overall.

Group 5

2026-03-02 13:36:10 UTC

B, because it gives lots of resources, but also can be confusing with all the information provided.

Group 3

2026-03-02 13:36:18 UTC

Buying On Credit - Handouts, standards, and objectives are all given to you.

This is a topic that not a lot of students are taught and would be important, especially as they get a little older.

Group 8

It is very well organized and includes all the resources on the same page. Taps into personal interests and prior knowledge to make the concept much easier to understand. Takes a more "boring" subject for elementary students and makes it more fun by infusing a popular game.

Group 3

2026-03-02 13:36:54 UTC

A+! Standard, Objective, Handouts, Essay Questions, multiple choice questions, assessments, etc. are all included. Visuals, and more.

Group 1

2026-03-02 13:36:58 UTC

We liked that it is separated by grade levels and could search for a specific topic. We feel this could be used more towards upper grade levels.

Group 4

2026-03-02 13:37:12 UTC

We found a lesson on National Parks that we would teach in our classroom. This would fit perfectly with our theme and has resources and standards to use. This would also be something a lot of students might find interesting.

Group 1

2026-03-02 13:37:29 UTC

Overall, would give it a C.

Group 2

2026-03-02 13:37:35 UTC

A glow for the website is it has a lot of resources and ways to teach a lesson. It's also very easy to navigate and to filter your search.

A grow for the website is it is mainly for order grades.

Group 11

2026-03-02 13:37:37 UTC

We wish there was more available for younger grades, the lessons they do have are good. The lessons are also pretty long which is not great for young kids. We like that there is a lot of information available for each topic.

Group 4

2026-03-02 13:37:38 UTC

We could give it a B overall.

Group 8

2026-03-02 13:37:49 UTC

We would give it a B

not the most user-friendly in the world
Geared towards higher grade levels, very little would be applicable to an elementary classroom

Group 6

2026-03-02 13:38:05 UTC

We thought that the website would be a good starting point for a lesson. It would be beneficial to find ideas to use in a lesson and then building the lesson from there. We also think using the other resources and activities on the website could be beneficial to building the lesson as well.

Group 7

2026-03-02 13:38:29 UTC

We found a lesson called Willy Wonka Whimsical entrepreneurship. It's and engaging lesson that relates to production and consumption.We can relate that to Hershey chocolate in Pennsylvania.

Group 3

2026-03-02 13:38:36 UTC

+ we liked the inclusion of free lesson resources and classroom tools

+ practical and easy to use

- we didn't see any for now! Slay girly

Group 5

Glow: It does have lots of resources. You can register for webinars to learn about a variety of topics.

Grows: Hard to navigate with all the information. Seems more geared toward upper-level students. Wish there were more for younger students.

Group 7

2026-03-02 13:38:49 UTC

We give it an A+

Group 6

2026-03-02 13:39:37 UTC

We would rate it a C. For the higher grade levels, it would be easier to find activities and lesson grades. However, for the younger grades, it is more difficult to find ideas and lesson ideas because there are not as many options for the Early Childhood Grades on the website.

Group 4

2026-03-02 13:39:47 UTC

Glows- Teacher friendly, has standards and objectives, lots of resources for students and teachers.

Grow ons - Very wordy for younger students. It might be hard to navigate.

Group 8

2026-03-02 13:39:51 UTC

Glows

good variety of topics and examples
do provide many physical resources for free
supplies links to various standards for lesson planning

Grows

wish it included more elementary grades
not user friendly, first time navigating can be extra difficult.

Group 9

We found a lesson called Where did the pencil come from? Talks abut natural resources are used to produce goods and services. Compare which natural resources are located in different states. This connects to Global connections because it shows where goods and services come from and how they are developed and used.

Group 7

2026-03-02 13:41:13 UTC

We liked the website because it had a lot of resources and multiple grade levels under different lesson.
It includes standards
Grow
There is a lot of information

Group 9

2026-03-02 13:41:29 UTC

Grow- Add more lessons for K-4

Glow- Glad they added standards and objectives.
