うさぎのリサとかめのテオ – 教師用ガイド

The teacher's guide turned out to be the real workhorse of this collection — it maps the hare-and-tortoise story onto several school subjects at once, which saved me hours of planning. My class stayed hooked the whole way through.

I bought this to go with the story for my grade 2 French class and the discussion questions saved me so much prep time. Having one story tie into so many subjects means I can stretch it across a whole week instead of hunting for separate activities.

The cross-curricular activity ideas in this guide are what sold me — I can stretch one story across French, math and even art without scrambling for extra material. My grade 2s stayed hooked the whole week.
