Teachers like you said…

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This was a super cute! Loved all the resources included. I purchased to use for science, but with all that was included I was able to use for ELA as well. My students loved getting to make their Ada craft to go with their writing!" -Kathleen

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This was exactly what I was looking for to get my students thinking like scientists, making predictions based on patters, and using context to answer scientific questions. This was exactly what I was looking for to kick off our year of STEM!" -Ashley

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I love this resource! I always use it at the beginning of the year to talk about science and the mindset that my students will need to have for a year of science with me. I do this activity within the first week or two of the school year, before we even start a science unit, and I feel like it really helps set the tone for the year and gets them engaged and thinking like Ada Twist. Plus, it makes for some amazing writing and artwork to hang up for Back to School Night or even Open House later in the year. Thanks for an amazing resource!" -Allyson
