Here is the pacing guide with links to a digital copy of the lessons. We will teach 6 weeks of lessons, with 2 additional optional weeks of lessons/inventory that can be used during flex weeks. One week should be used to clean up and do an inventory of the Lego kits, whether during the Lego time itself or during flex weeks.
*- requires the Lego Spike app
