My friend and I found this Etsy page 1.5 years ago when starting a new co-op. Climb and (soon-to-be) Summit have really been a great fit for our older students. We will have Climb 1, 2 and 4 next year in our co-op. Along with co-directing our co-up, I taught Climb 3 this past year and especially loved her La Vida Loca Finance game. Also: JJ as the creator is always quick to respond to any question about her materials. I recommend this to anyone in the 7-12 grade levels. Whether you are at home or using in a co-op, this is easy to use and has the full scope and sequence from grades 7-12 along with blank transcripts in the back of Climb 3, 4 & Summit 1, and 2. Thank you, JJ, for this resource!
