FREEBIE Venn Diagram w/lines
Have you ever wanted a large Venn Diagram with lines on it for your students to write on?
I SURE HAVE!!!!!!
After several instances of searching for such a Venn, I decided to create my own and share it with my loyal followers... that's you!
I hope you are able to use this resource in your classroom and find it to be as resourceful as I have. I've even printed this Venn and slid it inside of a sheet protector for my kiddos to reuse with expo markers.
Enjoy and happy teaching,
