What educators are saying

This has been one of my favorite TPT purchases ever! I used this during my ELA block to reinforce my SS unit. My students got SO MUCH out of this, and it really helped cement what they were learning in other subjects.

Rated 5 out of 5

Our Social Studies curriculum only touched on Pioneer Life briefly. My second grade students were very interested in the topic so this resource was beneficial for them to continue their learning.
