TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Elizabeth Allen said, “Our Science material is all hands-on, which the children love. However, sometimes (a lot of times) they have difficulty making the connection to their labs with what that means in the real world. This was a great bridge between the two. My students enjoyed it and it helped them make the connections they needed to make.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tawney P. said, “These passages are really good to use in class with students and as homework reinforcement.”
