TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “What a fun addition to my unit on inventors! We have been studying the normal inventors (Edison, Franklin, Ford, etc.) but this resource really interests my students. It's more on their level and about things that are familiar to them. Such a fun resource!" (Amy T.)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I used these with an extension group and they loved learning all about different inventions and where things they love came from. It sparked them to want to dig deeper into other inventions and then they presented an invention of their choosing to their entire grade level." (Kayla N.)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "We read a selection about various inventors and this activity was a great resource. I used it with small groups while we worked on comprehension and writing skills. Very engaging and the kids loved hearing about each invention." (Amber S.)
