REVIEWS FROM OTHER TEACHERS:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Andrice T. said, “This is one of my favorite stores to purchase lessons from. They align so well with my standards and my students absolutely LOVE the lessons. They are always interactive and visually pleasing when teaching virtual learners and in-person learners."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Megan C. said, "This will be my 2nd year using this resource and my students really enjoy this! One thing I had a hard time finding was a resource that taught about the wars that is informative, but geared towards kids. I think it's easy for creators to forget their audience sometimes and I absolutely love how this resource is so kid friendly! It's also great that I can use it for 5th, but also take parts for a 6th grade review. I've purchased from this seller before and I'm always impressed at everything included. It's full of great information and engaging videos that my students really enjoy."
