⭐ This was a very engaging activity that my students were able to complete with relative ease from home. I appreciate that they had to research and closely read information in order to answer questions correctly. Wonderful resource!
⭐ Great instead of just reading the same ole' Pilgrims lesson out of our SS book!
⭐ Awesome product. I uploaded the directions page with the link to google classroom. The kids could go right to that and get started immediately. Exactly what I was looking for.
