What educators are saying

A great product for organizing the story elements for various genres of writing. I used them for 3rd grade, but I think they're great for upper grades as well.
My students are getting into creative writing with this resource! They LOVE the idea of building their story using LEGOS and then writing about it in their online journal. Exactly what I was looking for to help support our distance learners.
