HOW TO USE
• Fillable version: open it in free Adobe Acrobat Reader (or another PDF app that supports forms), click a box to type, click a square to tick it, then save. Save a new copy for each week or unit.
• Print version: print the pages you need, as many copies as you like, and keep them in a binder.
• Start with Groups at a Glance, plan the week on Weekly Rotation, then fill in each group's lesson page.
HOW TO PRINT
• Print at "Actual size" or 100% scale, not "Fit to page"
• Plain printer paper works well; 90 to 120 gsm (24 to 32 lb) paper feels sturdier
• Choose the A4 or US Letter file to match your paper
