I’m using this during our state testing week, and it’s great! I know that my students are still learning new things, but the cognitive load they need to be able to handle the resource is low. During weeks like this that’s what I want! Something fun but still beneficial! AND who doesn’t love to color?? Will absolutely be using this for years to come!

This resource was exactly what I needed! It was easy to use, well-organized, and kept my students engaged from start to finish. The directions were clear, and it required little to no prep on my end, which is always a win. I was able to use it right away, and my students responded really well. I’ll definitely be using this again and checking out more resources from this seller!
