What educators are saying

This resource was fabulous. I love that it introduced such a heavy topic in a way my 6th graders could process. I used it to introduce a new unit.
Thank you for this product. As we were studying WW2, we learned a lot of information about this.. My kiddos were very engaged and we had a lot of discissions pertaining to the reading.
