First Grade Wonders

Review Guides

Unit 5Use as parent

communication, a review guide, mini focus wall

and more!

Created by Kristina Rocafort

I hope you find these review guides helpful in your classroom!

I made these review guides to be used in my own classroom as weekly handouts so my students’ families know what is being taught during the week. I encourage my students and their families to hold on to the guides and use them to review for unit tests.

You can also use these guides as a mini focus wall in your classroom.

Don’t forget to write the date in the top corner before you make photocopies!
