Lehrerhandbuch - Entscheidungen, Entscheidungen...

The multidisciplinary angle is what sold me, since I teach both reading and social studies and needed something that wouldn't fall apart across subjects. I've used the discussion prompts in three different class periods already and they hold up.

I love how this guide turns one story into cross-curricular lessons across reading, social studies, and science—planning for the week felt effortless. The structure is clear enough to pick up and use right away, and my students stayed engaged the whole time.

I was worried the teacher's guide would just repeat the story, but it actually breaks out activities for each subject, which saved me a ton of planning time. Using it alongside the Counting on Each Other book made our unit feel way more cohesive, and my class stayed engaged the whole way through.
