What teachers are saying about this Thomas Jefferson activity:
❤️ “We used this in our homeschool. My daughter absolutely LOVES these packets, and I do too! They're chock full of great info, but it's provided to the students in a fun way. It really brings history alive for kids, who may otherwise find it a bit hard to follow. The power points are great and connect to some really informative and fun youtube videos about the subject. I would highly recommend any of these packets! We've bought quite a few so far and each one has been amazing!”
❤️ “This material was just what I needed to reinforce what was being taught in my United States history class. The information was great and the students had no problem processing the methods. Will continue to use this as I move forward.”
❤️ “This resource is easy to use and understand. I love all the different activities that come with it!! It was a hit with my students.”
