What educators are saying
My students loved using this resource to go along with our reading of Sadako. I adapted it by creating Seesaw reading responses for each chapter and used the extra activities as extension activities to support further understanding of the chapters. Great resource!
I used this with my emerging EL students during our unit. They really appreciated the concepts involved and could complete most independently
