What educators are saying

My class loved doing this activity after we had been learning about the American Revolution. Such a fun way to review.
This was a fantastic resource as a "hook" into our American Revolution unit. Some students had a bit of background knowledge, and others had much more. This met both groups where they were at and brought some fun to our classroom amidst testing season!
