What educators are saying

I bought this unit to try before buying the complete bundle. I am so pleased with the resource. It has been very carefully created and aligned with our standards. So much better than a traditional social studies workbook.
I loved this resource, it was engaging and provided a lot of activities to keep the students engaged. I just wish I had more time to spend on this during my instructional time.
