Good Morning All!

Our textbook contract has expired and I was looking into a few options (Avancemos and Que Chevere being the top two), but my administration prefers that we go as much digital as possible since we are just about 1:1 with Chromebooks.

I'm hoping to have whatever new materials in my hands before summer break so I can familiarize and plan. Thanks so much!

The company that publishes it, Vista Higher L...See More

Jouli J Thanks for the quick response. We looked at Descubre, but for standard levels, it is pretty advanced. If we slowed down the pace, we'd end up having to share books which would be more money. We have Standard One and Two, Honors Three, and AP here (small charter school). While I move them a bit faster in Two, it's technically a standard class.

Jouli J Thanks, Michelle! I tried it out, and while there were some good components, it was a bit too much visually.
