Basic Cells starts with suggestions for how to use the Basic Cells to teach Greek and Latin roots, English vocabulary, conventions, and writing style every day. There are 170 short illustrated lessons. Virtually all lessons include additional words with meanings to show other examples of how the Basic Cell is used to form other words. There are also review words as well as worksheets for students to practice Basic Cells.​
Do you really want to make ancient cultures come alive? How better to draw students in than with songs and with stories that pull them right into the times they are learning about.

Gifts from Ancient Cultures includes materials for 13 ancient cultures—from Neolithic times to the Persians, from the Mediterranean Sea to Africa, the Americas, and Asia.
Do you want your students to LOVE learning about decimals? Do you want them to be SAD when the unit on decimals is over? “Line Up Your Chocolate Chips” adds color, humor, and—of course—chocolate to make place values and decimal operations more comprehensible and fun.
