Wit & Wisdom

Wit and Wisdom is a K-8 English curriculum written and owned by Great Minds. We love it because it brings rich content into the classroom. Wit and Wisdom helps you meet the expectations of the standards while celebrating the joy of reading and writing with your students.

Module 3 | Powerful Forces
Although none of us have seen the wind, it powerfully impacts our lives. Students explore key scientific concepts of weather and forces. They also explore the invisible force of emotions. Students gain an understanding of how wind moves objects and generates power. They also explore how we, as humans, are moved.

Module 4 | Cinderella Stories
The story of Cinderella is a timeless piece of traditional literature. While there are thousands of versions of Cinderella, the stories are united by common elements and themes; changes to the setting do not disrupt the magic of these tales or their ability to impart the importance of kindness, forgiveness, and belief in good triumphing over evil.
