John Dalton – A Short Introduction to a Key Figure in Chemistry Informational Text, Student Tasks & Digital Quiz (PDF + H5P) 🧪📘 A printable and digital resource for grades 7–10 This material introduces students to John Dalton, best known for his early atomic theory and his work on gases. The text is kept simple and clear, making it easy to integrate into lessons on the history of chemistry or atomic structure. It’s especially useful when you want to combine reading comprehension with scientific content. I’ve used this type of material when I needed something structured but flexible – for example, during quiet lesson phases, independent study, or even in a substitute teaching situation. It’s straightforward enough to use without much prep, and students can usually work through it on their own or in pairs. Here’s what’s included: A short reading passage about John Dalton A worksheet where students fill out a basic profile of him Quiz questions to check understanding (with solutions) Two optional follow-up tasks: – Write your own questions about the text – Swap and answer a partner’s questions Available in three formats: – PDF (print-friendly) – Editable .docx (text only) – H5P version for interactive use without images In the classroom: The material works well for independent work or as part of a science station. Students start with the reading text, complete the profile, and then move on to the quiz questions. The optional tasks are a nice way to extend the activity, especially if some students finish early. The H5P version is useful if you’re working in a digital setting or want to offer students the chance to check their answers right away. It’s a calm, focused lesson component that helps students learn about an important scientific thinker – without needing complicated prep or background knowledge. Have fun exploring the world of science with your students! Warmly, Lernfitness Did You Know?

6th Grade Math Assessment | Beginning of Year Diagnostic
Math, Grade 6, Assessments, Teacher Tools, Worksheets & Printables
Start sixth grade with clearer data and a focused instructional plan using this Grade 6 beginning of year math assessment . This visual sixth grade math diagnostic helps identify strengths, skill gaps, and readiness across 13 essential math strands—then connects results directly to targeted follow-up practice. With 45 questions , teacher scoring and analysis tools, and skill-specific reteaching pages, this resource creates a practical assess → analyze → group → reteach system for the beginning of the school year. What’s Included This sixth grade math assessment bundle provides a complete beginning-of-year diagnostic system: ✅ 45-question Student Math Assessment ✅ 13 essential math skill strands ✅ Clear, visual student-friendly layout ✅ Complete answer key for all 45 questions ✅ Teacher “what to look for” notes ✅ Common-error and misconception guidance ✅ 45-point scoring system ✅ Secure, Developing, and Emerging score bands ✅ One-page quick-grading answer grid ✅ Step-by-step administration guide ✅ Individual student scoring sheet ✅ Whole-class tracking grid ✅ Small-group planning guidance ✅ Standards alignment ✅ Reteaching roadmap ✅ 13 targeted follow-up practice pages ✅ Fresh practice problems different from assessment items ✅ Teacher answer strip for every practice page The answer key includes correct responses plus short teacher notes that help explain common errors and turn student responses into useful instructional information. How It Works in the Classroom Use this Grade 6 beginning of year math assessment during the first week or two of school to see which foundational skills students bring into sixth grade. There is no time limit, and the assessment can be split into two shorter sittings. A suggested break point comes after Decimal Operations, Question 21, so students can return with fresh attention for volume, coordinate plane, measurement, data, geometry, patterns, and multi-step problems. Use this resource for: ⭐ Beginning-of-year math assessment ⭐ Back-to-school math diagnostic ⭐ Sixth grade math pre-assessment ⭐ Fifth-grade skills review ⭐ Middle school math readiness ⭐ Small-group planning ⭐ Math intervention ⭐ Skill-based differentiation ⭐ Targeted reteaching ⭐ Independent follow-up practice After scoring, transfer results to the individual student scoring sheet and whole-class tracking grid. The whole-class chart on page 4 visually displays all 13 strands side by side, making class-wide strengths, shared gaps, and potential small groups easier to identify at a glance. Then print only the follow-up practice pages each student or group needs. Part 4 includes one focused worksheet for every assessed strand, with fresh problems that differ from the original assessment items. Standards & Learning Goals This sixth grade math diagnostic assessment checks readiness across 13 essential strands: 🔢 Place value and decimals ✖️➗ Multi-digit operations 🧮 Numerical expressions and exponents 🍕 Fractions ✖️➗ Fraction operations 🔟 Decimal operations 🧊 Volume 📍 Coordinate plane 📏 Measurement conversions 📊 Data and statistics 📐 Geometry 🔁 Patterns and function tables 🧠 Multi-step problem solving Students work with decimal place value to the thousandths, expanded form, rounding and comparing decimals, multi-digit multiplication and division, order of operations, exponents, variables, algebraic expressions, simplifying and ordering fractions, fraction-decimal conversions, multiplying and dividing fractions, decimal operations, rectangular prism volume, ordered pairs, quadrants, coordinate distance, metric and customary conversions, mean, median, mode, range, dot plots, triangle and parallelogram area, patterns, function tables, and multi-step reasoning. The included standards and reteaching map connects strands to illustrative Common Core references, including: 5.NBT.A.3 6.NS.A.1 6.NS.B.2–3 6.NS.C.6 6.NS.C.8 6.EE.A.1–2 6.EE.B 6.EE.C.9 6.RP.A.3 6.RP.A.3d 6.G.A.1–2 6.SP.B.5 5.NF.A 5.MD.A.1 5.MD.C.5 5.OA.B.3 The standards map also points each assessed strand to its matching Part 4 practice page, helping teachers move directly from assessment results to targeted reteaching. Why Teachers Love It ✨ See more than a total score. Results are broken down by skill strand for clearer instructional decisions. ✨ Save valuable planning time. The answer key, quick-grading grid, individual scoring sheet, and class tracker streamline the assessment process. ✨ Build purposeful small groups. Group students by shared skill needs instead of relying only on overall scores. ✨ Spot important misconceptions. Teacher notes help identify decimal place-value confusion, dropped zeros in division quotients, base-times-exponent errors, reversed “less than” expressions, misplaced decimal points, and coordinate-order mistakes. ✨ Preview algebra readiness. Students evaluate powers, use order of operations, substitute values into expressions, and translate verbal phrases into algebraic expressions. ✨ Check fraction and decimal operation readiness. Students simplify, compare, convert, multiply, and divide fractions while also adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing decimals. ✨ Assess coordinate plane understanding. Students name ordered pairs, identify quadrants, plot points, and determine distances along horizontal and vertical lines. ✨ Differentiate without searching for extra worksheets. Print only the specific follow-up page each student or group needs. ✨ Turn assessment data into flexible groups. The teacher tools recommend grouping by shared strand need rather than total score and rechecking skills after targeted practice. ✨ Move directly from assessment to reteaching. Practice pages cover decimals, multi-digit operations, expressions and exponents, fractions, fraction operations, decimal operations, volume, coordinate plane, measurement, statistics, geometry, patterns, function tables, and multi-step problems. Start the year knowing what your students understand and what they need next. Download this Grade 6 beginning of year math assessment to assess readiness, identify learning gaps, form targeted small groups, and provide focused follow-up practice from one coordinated resource. Perfect for teachers searching for a sixth grade math pre-assessment , back-to-school math diagnostic, Grade 6 readiness assessment, fifth-grade skills review, middle school math diagnostic, math intervention tool, or beginning-of-year math assessment with built-in scoring and reteaching support.

OO: 3 Decodable Reading Books and Supporting Activities
Special Resources, ELA, Special Education Needs (SEN), Language Development, Pre-Reading, Phonics, Spelling, Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, Literacy Readers, Teacher Tools
This is a set of 2, short vowel /oo/, decodable phonic reading books, with supporting activity packs to help struggling readers develop reading fluency. Each lesson focuses on just ten decodable OO words. What is included: This is a pack of 2 lessons (3 books, 2 games, 2 packs of worksheets) - 2 for each vowel sound: a total time of 2 weeks of phonics instruction. This OO pack of worksheets and reading books is part of the Reading Made Simple Special Needs programme and is preceded by the five vowels lessons and Lesson 6: CK. For best effect, the lessons should be taught in order. Reading Made Simple for Special Needs A 100% systematic phonic reading programme for all ages and abilities. Give your child a Head start in reading! Due to its 100% systematic nature, this reading programme is highly suitable for any child with a special need, including dyslexia (or suspected), or any other need that is causing a child to have difficulties learning to read. What makes this reading programme different? · It has its own, easy-to-download and print phonic reading books, making it accessible to many children worldwide. · Each book carefully builds on the vocabulary of those that have gone before, providing much repetition, without relying on predictable text. · Pictures aid the storyline without encouraging reading from the pictures – i.e. guessing. · The vocabulary is based on phonic families, which are introduced in a carefully planned way. · True sight words – those that cannot be sounded out - are kept to the very minimum. Most words are introduced in their phonic family wherever possible. · It is truly multisensory, using the power of the hand. We not only look at the words, but we write them too. This is powerful and has the bonus of turning the child not only into a reader but into a writer as well. Typical signs that this programme can help: · Difficulty recalling words when seen on flashcards or when reading texts, which results in no or little reading fluency · b/d letter reversal of a chronic nature – i.e. the child has not grown out of it · Difficulty ordering letters in words: E.g. top becomes pot. · Difficulty differentiating between like words: spoon/soon; back/black; sheep/sleep etc… · Difficulty tracking words across a page To help all children succeed, each phonic family is taught in two lessons, each a week in duration. This speed has been tried and tested to be the optimum speed to allow children to absorb new information without mental overload. You may find that some children need longer - but never less. Each phonic family is split into half and only 5/6 words in a family are studied each week. Activities are provided to give the child plenty of exposure to the new sound and the set of words that contain it. These activities are not hard, but simply bring the child face to face with the words, first individually, then in sentences, and finally in longer passages. We also seek to strengthen knowledge of blends and develop phonemic awareness through the activities, much needed by these learners. In all, the way that Reading Made Simple has been designed reduces the burden on the working memory, making it easier for children to learn to read. Children relax as they meet familiar words again and again. They begin to say – sometimes for the first time, ‘I can read’. With this programme, you can help a non-reader today! Activities include: Reading fluency triangles Word Level: reading and spelling CK words Sentence Level; reading and spelling sentences, including previously taught sounds and /ck/ words. Reading books to practice reading with short stories. Games Spelling activities/other reading activities Activities to develop relevant phonemic awareness Activities to help ease children over the areas most struggle with. What is included: Full teaching instructions Flashcards 2 packs of activities and worksheets 3 reading books 2 games Full teaching instructions What next? Once completed, students should move straight on to the /oo/ Decodable Reading Books and Activity Pack.

This sailing reading comprehension includes: Visualization (on the front cover) Start your lesson by taking a minute to think and share something about the topic. Read the script aloud (slowly), perhaps prepare some music or sound effects. Student close their eyes and let their imaginations wander. Students open their eyes, read the question aloud and give them a few minutes to complete. Ask a few students to share or keep answers until the end to compare with what they learn in the passage. Quick pause—thousands of Cored Education products are included with your TeachSimple membership. Download links and encyclopedia index available here. Pre-Reading Trivia Students will write down one thing they already know about the subject and then read five more facts and discuss. These facts are fun, and the students will enjoy learning about the subject before reading more. Give 1 minute for students to write what they already know (no pressure—best guess is fine). Read the five facts together. After each fact, do ask a student for their opinion, was it surprising? Set a purpose by asking students to highlight/underline one fact they want to learn more about during the reading. Reading Passage The text is a high-interest reading passage with set paragraphs, roughly three to four paragraphs long. It contains a variety of themes about the topic, anywhere from history to technology. The passage is between 250 and 350 words in length. First, ask students to look at the headings and see what they’ll learn about today. What do they know about the topic/heading? First read options: Teacher read-aloud (best for support). Partner reading (paragraph by paragraph). While reading, students underline important details, and vocabulary words they think may come up in the questions section. Mixed Questions The first question page contains four multiple-choice questions, each with a choice of four answers, and three written response questions that require a sentence or two from the student. Students complete the mcqs first independently, then review quickly as a class. For the 3 written responses, try to get students giving the answer with some form of evidence: “I think ___ because the text says ___.” If students get stuck, send them back to check the passage. Vocabulary Questions Practice seven key words from the text in this section across two activities. First section is scrambled words where students will unscramble three words given a clue for each. The second section is a word to meaning matching activity. Before starting, have some students read out words they underlined in the passage. Ask students to say the word and read aloud the sentence(s) around each word. Ask students to do scrambled words and the matching exercise in pairs then go through answers as a class. For the scrambled spelling task, get four pairs to come up to the board and write the words for extra practice with the other student reading out the clue. For the matching task, prompt students to give full sentences: “I matched ___ with ___ because ___.” Creative Writing In this question, the student will be required to write a five to eight sentence paragraph on a question related to the topic. Before starting, ask students write down 3 key ideas they are going to include in their piece. Ask students for ideas to share around the class to help those struggling. Pro writing expectations: 5–8 sentences At least 2 facts or details from the passage At least 2 vocabulary words from the previous page Students read their paragraphs while classmates listen for facts and vocabulary words. Extension Activities This page is optional for fast finishers or to take home. There are several activities, each one requiring a different skill. Do some, do none, do all, completely optional - but you will feel reassured knowing every possibility is planned for. Includes summary writting question. Answer Key There are answers for the multiple-choice questions, written response questions have sample answers, vocabulary answers and if there is a summary question then a sample summary will be provided as well. Lesson Plan Included Customized lesson plan for this lesson is included. Lesson Snapshot Title: Sailing Genre: Nonfiction (informational passage) Subject: Science (Forces & motion) / Social Studies (history of travel) Primary Topic: How wind powers boats and changed travel Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): R What This Lesson Teaches Best How wind pushing on a sail can move a boat without rowing (sail as a “wind catcher” and cloth billowing). How sailing helped people travel farther and move supplies, from early boats to tall ships, including examples from Egypt, the Roman world, and Austronesian sailors. Key sailing concepts that affect movement and direction, including “points of sail,” the “no-go zone,” and zigzagging turns called tacks. How boat parts help sailing work: the sail pulling forward and the keel and rudder helping resist sliding sideways. How technology changed sailing’s role (steam engines replacing sails for many working ships) and how wind is being used again on some cargo ships to save fuel. Learning Goals Explain how wind pressing on a sail can move a boat forward. Describe how sailing grew from river boats to ships that carried people, tools, and food across seas. Identify why sailors use tacks and what the “no-go zone” means in the passage. Describe how the keel and rudder help a sailboat resist sliding sideways. Explain how sailing changed in the late 1800s and how wind is being used again today. Key Vocabulary From the Text hull — the main body of a boat. keel — a strong part that helps stop sliding sideways. rudder — a part that helps steer the boat. tacks — zigzag turns used to move into wind. cargo — goods carried on a ship.

This reindeer reading comprehension includes: Visualization (on the front cover) Start your lesson by taking a minute to think and share something about the topic. Read the script aloud (slowly), perhaps prepare some music or sound effects. Student close their eyes and let their imaginations wander. Students open their eyes, read the question aloud and give them a few minutes to complete. Ask a few students to share or keep answers until the end to compare with what they learn in the passage. Quick pause—thousands of Cored Education products are included with your TeachSimple membership. Download links and encyclopedia index available here. COMPANION VIDEO NOW AVAILABLE (EMBEDDED AFTER PREVIEW PICTURES IN PRODUCT DESCRIPTION) Pre-Reading Trivia Students will write down one thing they already know about the subject and then read five more facts and discuss. These facts are fun, and the students will enjoy learning about the subject before reading more. Give 1 minute for students to write what they already know (no pressure—best guess is fine). Read the five facts together. After each fact, do ask a student for their opinion, was it surprising? Set a purpose by asking students to highlight/underline one fact they want to learn more about during the reading. Reading Passage The text is a high-interest reading passage with set paragraphs, roughly three to four paragraphs long. It contains a variety of themes about the topic, anywhere from history to technology. The passage is between 250 and 350 words in length. First, ask students to look at the headings and see what they’ll learn about today. What do they know about the topic/heading? First read options: Teacher read-aloud (best for support). Partner reading (paragraph by paragraph). While reading, students underline important details, and vocabulary words they think may come up in the questions section. Mixed Questions The first question page contains four multiple-choice questions, each with a choice of four answers, and three written response questions that require a sentence or two from the student. Students complete the mcqs first independently, then review quickly as a class. For the 3 written responses, try to get students giving the answer with some form of evidence: “I think ___ because the text says ___.” If students get stuck, send them back to check the passage. Vocabulary Questions Practice seven key words from the text in this section across two activities. First section is scrambled words where students will unscramble three words given a clue for each. The second section is a word to meaning matching activity. Before starting, have some students read out words they underlined in the passage. Ask students to say the word and read aloud the sentence(s) around each word. Ask students to do scrambled words and the matching exercise in pairs then go through answers as a class. For the scrambled spelling task, get four pairs to come up to the board and write the words for extra practice with the other student reading out the clue. For the matching task, prompt students to give full sentences: “I matched ___ with ___ because ___.” Creative Writing In this question, the student will be required to write a five to eight sentence paragraph on a question related to the topic. Before starting, ask students write down 3 key ideas they are going to include in their piece. Ask students for ideas to share around the class to help those struggling. Pro writing expectations: 5–8 sentences At least 2 facts or details from the passage At least 2 vocabulary words from the previous page Students read their paragraphs while classmates listen for facts and vocabulary words. Extension Activities This page is optional for fast finishers or to take home. There are several activities, each one requiring a different skill. Do some, do none, do all, completely optional - but you will feel reassured knowing every possibility is planned for. Includes summary writting question. Answer Key There are answers for the multiple-choice questions, written response questions have sample answers, vocabulary answers and if there is a summary question then a sample summary will be provided as well. Lesson Plan Included Customized lesson plan for this lesson is included.

How reindeer find food when conditions are harsh (digging through snow to reach lichen). Migration and seasonal movement (some herds travel long journeys; more than 600 miles north in summer, then south again). How people and reindeer have influenced each other (communities watching hoofprints, herding partnerships, reindeer helping with travel and providing resources). A conservation-style question about changing winters (warming turning soft snow into hard ice that seals food away). Learning Goals Students will describe where reindeer live using details from the text (Arctic and subarctic lands). Students will explain two body features that help reindeer in winter conditions. Students will describe how reindeer get food when it is scarce, using the text’s example. Students will explain how long journeys relate to seasons and survival in the passage. Students will describe one way people have interacted with or depended on reindeer in the text. Key Vocabulary From the Text subarctic — very cold region just below the Arctic. tundra — open, cold land with few trees. hoofprints — marks left by hooves in the ground or snow. lichen — crusty plantlike growth on rocks and ground. Vulnerable — at risk of harm or shrinking in number. FULL CATALOG OF DOWNLOAD LINKS AND ENCYCLOPEDIA INDEX HERE

How It Works in the Classroom Use this Grade 5 beginning of year math assessment during the first week or two of school to see which foundational skills students bring into fifth grade. There is no time limit, and the assessment can be split into two shorter sittings. Students can show their thinking through regrouping marks, arrays, jottings, or number lines, giving you insight into strategies as well as final answers. Use this resource for: ⭐ Beginning-of-year math assessment ⭐ Back-to-school math diagnostic ⭐ Fifth grade math pre-assessment ⭐ Fourth-grade skills review ⭐ Small-group planning ⭐ Math intervention ⭐ Skill-based differentiation ⭐ Targeted reteaching ⭐ Independent follow-up practice ⭐ Student support planning After scoring, transfer results to the individual student scoring sheet and whole-class tracking grid.

Then print only the follow-up practice pages each student or group needs. Part 4 includes one focused worksheet for every assessed strand, with fresh problems that differ from the original assessment items. Standards & Learning Goals This fifth grade math diagnostic assessment checks readiness across 15 essential strands: 🔢 Multi-digit place value to the millions ➕ Multi-digit addition and subtraction ✖️ Multi-digit multiplication ➗ Division with remainders and two-digit divisors 🔍 Factors and multiples 🍕 Fraction operations 🟰 Equivalent fractions ⚖️ Comparing and ordering fractions 🔟 Decimal foundations 📏 Measurement conversions 🟦 Area and perimeter 📐 Angles 🔷 Lines and shapes 📊 Data interpretation 🧠 Multi-step problem solving Students work with place value to the millions, standard and expanded form, rounding, comparing numbers, regrouping across zeros, multi-digit multiplication, division, factors, multiples, prime and composite numbers, GCF, LCM, fraction operations, mixed numbers, equivalent fractions, simplifying fractions, decimal place value, measurement conversions, area, perimeter, angle relationships, symmetry, graphs, and multi-step reasoning. The included standards and reteaching map connects strands to illustrative Common Core references, including: 4.NBT.A.2 5.NBT.A.1 4.NBT.B.4 5.NBT.B.5–6 4.OA.A.3 4.OA.B.4 4.NF.A.1–2 5.NF.A.1 5.NBT.A.3 5.MD.A.1 4.MD.A.3 4.MD.C.6–7 5.NF.B.4 5.G.B.3–4 5.MD.B.2 The standards map also points each assessed strand to its matching Part 4 practice page, helping teachers move directly from results to targeted reteaching. Why Teachers Love It ✨ See more than a total score. Results are broken down by skill strand for clearer instructional decisions. ✨ Save valuable planning time. The answer key, quick-grading grid, individual scoring sheet, and class tracker streamline the assessment process. ✨ Build purposeful small groups. Group students by shared skill needs instead of relying only on overall scores. ✨ Spot important misconceptions. Teacher notes help identify place-value errors, regrouping difficulties, partial-product issues, factor-versus-multiple confusion, fraction misunderstandings, and decimal comparison misconceptions. ✨ Check fraction readiness before deeper Grade 5 work. Students add and subtract fractions, work with mixed numbers, build and simplify equivalent fractions, compare unlike fractions, order fractions, and use one-half as a benchmark. ✨ Assess decimal foundations visually. Students interpret decimal models, identify place value, compare equivalent decimals, round decimals, and connect decimals to fractions. The follow-up decimal page also uses a hundred grid and tenths strip for visual support. ✨ Differentiate without searching for extra worksheets. Print only the specific follow-up page each student or group needs. ✨ Turn assessment data into flexible groups. The teacher tools recommend grouping by shared strand need rather than total score and rechecking skills after targeted practice. ✨ Move directly from assessment to reteaching. Practice pages cover place value, operations, multiplication, division, factors and multiples, fractions, decimals, measurement, area and perimeter, angles, geometry, data, and multi-step problems. Start the year knowing what your students understand and what they need next. Download this Grade 5 beginning of year math assessment to assess readiness, identify learning gaps, form targeted small groups, and provide focused follow-up practice from one coordinated resource. Perfect for teachers searching for a fifth grade math pre-assessment , back-to-school math diagnostic, Grade 5 readiness assessment, fourth-grade skills review, math intervention tool, or beginning-of-year math assessment with built-in scoring and reteaching support.

High School Decoding the Shadows: The Evolution of Criminal Profiling
Reading, ELA, Writing, Research, Resources for Teachers, Science, Technology, Homeschool Resources, High School, Teacher Tools, Assessments, Quizzes and Tests, Lesson Plans, Worksheets & Printables, Writing Prompts
As a homeschool mom of a high schooler, you know the struggle of finding that unique and engaging resource. As both a homeschool mom and a resource creator, I designed this study into the history of criminal profiling to move past dry textbooks and get into the real "human truth" of how justice works, tracing the path from Victorian-era "gut feelings" to the sophisticated forensic discipline used today. It is a wild journey that shows our students/homeschoolers how investigators transitioned from looking only at physical clues to decoding the actual psychology of a suspect. By the time they finish, your student/homeschooler will understand how a crime scene is often just a mirror of a killer’s internal state; I have kept the content rigorous enough for high school credit, but paced it like a story they will actually want to keep reading. INCLUDED IN THIS RESOURCE: A narrative tracing profiling from its 19th-century roots to modern FBI methods. A clear breakdown of "organized" vs. "disorganized" offender profiles. Real-world looks at Jack the Ripper, the "Mad Bomber," and even the profiling of Hitler. A full bibliography featuring foundational works by John Douglas and Robert Ressler. TOPICS COVERED: Moving from physical evidence to decoding a suspect's motivations. How clinical expertise first entered active police investigations. The formalization of evidence-based profiling at the FBI Academy. Using behavioral tracking for cold cases and modern cybercrime. I hope this resource helps your student/homeschooler see that profiling is a living, breathing field that is constantly evolving—using everything from data analytics to modern forensic psychology to crack even the toughest cold cases. As a fellow homeschool mom, I know how important it is to show our students/homeschoolers that even though profiling has faced its fair share of critics, it remains an essential tool for investigators when they hit a wall. As technology advances, our ability to get inside a criminal's head only gets more precise. This journey from "armchair" theories to the high-tech halls of the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit is really a story about our human drive to understand the unthinkable; it is a great reminder that while science handles the hard facts, profiling is what actually helps us uncover the "human truth" behind the crime. If you and your students/homeschoolers enjoyed this resources, please leave a review. Thank you for your support! Tina - Big Easy Homeschooling Mom
