A 4th grade teacher finds the HMH curriculum module bloated and poorly designed, requiring significant effort to supplement it so students are not bored and the material is engaging.
The HMH curriculum is not pedagogically sound; it is organized by calendar weeks rather than learning needs, with excerpts that lack narrative coherence, forcing the teacher to bring in extended texts to fill gaps.
