What educators are saying

Fun activities to do at the beginning of the year that also reinforce standards. I was not able to complete every activity but will be using them at the end of the year too.
This was perfect for an ice breaker activity to start the new quarter. My students were engaged and were able to produce some creative builds. Will definitely use this again! Thank you!
