**UPDATED July 2021** – Units published in the future (and eventually the units already published) will be formatted to use in as a cycling curriculum or linear/traditional curriculum. The units can be used in a linear way Units 1-12 or the units can be divided into 3 separate cycles that loop over 3 years. In a cycling curriculum you teach all your classes the same content, but differentiate between the levels with minor adjustments to the lesson. Here is an example of a program that begins in kindergarten.
