What educators are saying
Our class used some of these pages the day before Thanksgiving break. My kids had so much fun with the "Texting Turkeys" page!
I was diagnosed with COVID Sunday of the week before Thanksgiving and this saved me from the planning trauma of providing meaningful, engaging instructional activities for my kids for the week!
Description
