[quote=Anonymous]I have to agree with previous posters. I also teach in the county and we were excited about Benchmark after surviving C 2.0. Benchmark provides a ton of additional resources that we didn't have with the county written curriculum. However, once we began teaching the curriculum the love went out the window. As someone else mentioned, there are too many mini-lessons to get through in a day and still find time to do small guided reading groups. Many of the topics are uninteresting too. My colleagues in another grade said that they spend an entire unit reading about corn. Who the heck cares about corn in elementary school? That's three weeks of readings. Benchmark is a miss.[/quote]
