STUDENT FEEDBACK!

"When can we do the Fur Trade Word Search?" A student requested. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "It looks like so much fun!" An eager pupil exclaimed!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Can we do the word search today?" Asked a third student. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is truly what happened when teaching on the Fur Trade of New France in my classroom! I used the mega word search as an Early Finisher Activity. The students had so much fun working together with partners or individually! Word Searches are puzzles that help with cognitive development and keep learner's minds active. The process for solving a word search is to look at the “clue” of a few letters to find a word. This fun activity engages students and helps hone their reasoning skills.
