“Thanks for all the great beginning of the year literacy activities. My kinders had lots of fun!”
“Absolutely PERFECT!!!!!”
“Wonderful unit! My students loved it!”
“Used a great deal of this packet to support my skeletal system unit. We are not allowed to celebrate Halloween so I do a skeletal system unit (and bats) if I have time in October — so I get my room decorated and get some great Science in too!”
