What educators are saying
The students loved this resource. I used it as a review and to evaluate for information retained from our unit study. The students did very well and loved the review. I will definitely use it again next year for this unit study.
I used this product on a PowerPoint slideshow as well printed small for kids notebooks. Kept them highly engaged throughout the lesson. Fabulous graphics! Wonderful resource!
