What educators are saying

This was a fun and engaging resource for my kindergarteners. I teach dual language and this resource was engaging for both language learners!
My students loved researching the reindeers as a class and learning how to use the information we learned about them. The conversations between them at partner share and chat was inspiring and they often surprised me with their well thought out explanations and ideas.
