    Great and very easy to use! One question. Can the table of contents page be made editable so I can change items between grade levels that I purchase? Some of the items in the list I need to add to third grade or fifth grade to comply with our district curriculum map. I appreciate your help, if possible!

    LOVE this product so much! Saves so much time and keeps everyone (me included) organized and on track. I did have a question about page 23. I’m not sure what to do with this page.

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      Thanks! I’m glad it’s been helpful πŸ™‚ Slide 23 is the cutout page that accompanies slide 24. Students can cut and paste the rhythms to empty boxes that correspond with the correct word/rhythm. I hope that made sense. If you have any other questions, please feel free to email me at theylbrickroad@gmail.com, and I’d be happy to help!
