What educators are saying
My students had so much fun with this resource. Not only was it engaging, but we used it for our holiday door in our classroom and everyone loved it. I love that the students had to read content, extrapolate information and got to use their artistic skills.
We completed this after a visit from a local college that came to talk about their animal outreach program. This was a very engaging resource that the kids all loved!
