A word about the Beyond Words Unit– this unit is not comprehensive enough in scope to be taught exclusively as a means to address Common Core Standards. Instead, the GATE Office, recommends that teachers use it as a weekly enrichment opportunity for language study.  If you have questions, please contact the GATE Resource Teacher.

Resources for Planning
