The Essentials –
I love this for earlier finisher work. There is plenty to keep them busy. This lasts awhile!
Amber Dixon –
My students love the extension stems. I made the strips and put them on rings in the “I’m done” closet. Whenever students are finished with their work, these stems are an option and they love exploring all the different options.

These early finisher boards were so helpful with keeping my students who finished everything quickly engaged and learning! They loved working on them, and even motivated my slow workers to pick up the pace in order to work on the fun activities too!

This resource was exactly what I was looking for! Very useful and worth the money!
Sunshine & Sight Words –
I really enjoyed using these with my students! I like that there are challenging options for scholars that push their thinking. I also liked that some of the activities repeated or were similar within the bundle. This made it easier for my students to use this resource independently without always needing teacher guidance on how to complete the task. I printed these out on card stock and laminated them to help them last and so that they can be used year after year!
