Did anyone else adopt the new Florida Wonders curriculum? We just adopted it this school year, and I teach 4th grade.

We feel like it teaches too many skills in one lesson, and we are not able to truly teach anything “deep” enough for students to master. Does anyone have any insight? What do you do? Do you like the curriculum? Why or why not? Would you be willing to share what you do weekly/daily? Thanks!
