How would you describe your work?
I work with 7th graders. For the past 8 years I have taught Pre-AP only. However, with the money crunch, I am now teaching FIVE classes, two core academic classes and three Pre-AP. I am crossing my fingers and planning like mad for a successful new school year. I just purchased Crunchtime and I find it really helpful. That's why I'm signing up here!

Go to www.heinemann.com.  There, type "Crunchtime" in their search bar.  When you see an image of the book come up, click on it.  It'll take you to a Crunchtime page.  Scroll down, and you'll see "companion resources."  Click that.

 

Let me know if you have any problems from there!
