The Day-by-Day Planner provides teachers with a comprehensive and explicit guide to implementing the Core Knowledge Sequence in their classrooms. The Day-by-Day Planner is only one of many possible ways to organize instruction but we think you will find it both convenient and time-saving.

Day-by-Day Planner Workbooks are available in print format for grades K-8.
Some teachers prefer the print version to the digital version, and others want the CD-ROM version on their computer and the print version on their desk. Both versions contain information about pacing and interfacing topics in all the Core Knowledge subjects: language arts, literature, history and geography, math, science, music, and the visual arts. There is room in both to add subjects not covered — foreign languages, technology, and physical education. Best of all, both have room for incorporating and aligning state and local standards.

The latest volume in the Core Classics series, this edition of the King Arthur legends will please teachers and students alike. The magic realm of Camelot is made inviting by a lively text that preserves the spirit and feel of the Middle Ages but also makes the story accessible to young readers. Enhanced by the Howard Pyle illustrations, the adventures of Gawaine, Galahad, and the other Knights of the Round Table are enchanting in their own right but also make a perfect supplement to the Core Knowledge history unit on the Middle Ages. As always in the Core Classics series, helpful word glosses are added to the text and an introduction is provided by E. D. Hirsch, Jr.
