Quick and Easy!

1. Lay Out Our Standard Set of Materials:

    • Students use the same communal materials across all 10 lessons, so you never need to assemble individual material kits!
    • Simply lay out our standard set of materials before each lesson and replenish individual materials as needed.

2. Set Up Testing Stations (If Needed):

    • A few lessons require additional set up, such as creating a square with blue tape to use as a target area.
    • All special instructions in the Set Up and Tips document below. Print this document and keep it handy to take a quick look before each lesson.
