TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID ABOUT MY RESOURCES...
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "This has been my favorite purchase year-to-date. I had to stay behind with students who couldn't go on a field trip, and they didn't feel left out at all. I used it to reinforce close reading skills, context clues, decimal work and research skills. On the last day, we held an ice cream social and presented our projects."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I utilized this resource for my students when we were participating in distance learning. They loved it! I plan to make this a yearly activity with my students as it will work well in person as well. "
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "This is highly engaging! Thank you for your attention to detail and easy step-by-step instructions for both kids and me. What a fun way to reinforce our ATL skills. We had some fun end products with the ice cream vans. Will definitely use this again."
