It's all here! I didn't have to do any searching, alignment, or anything.

This bundle truly has everything a teacher needs. I didn't have to spend time searching for resources or aligning them with standards. It's all conveniently packaged and ready to use.

I initially planned to use only the paper materials when piloting this curriculum, but I'm so glad I also tried the app. It made teaching ADI incredibly easy. Having all the presentations in the app saved me so much time and effort.

I'm really excited to see that ADI offers a single package for the kits, teacher materials, books, and app. This allows me to use my curriculum budget. Woo hoo!
