What educators are saying

I loved that I could use this with my students at different levels. My higher level students were able to complete the activities on their own. I was able to work with my below level students who needed some help but understood with guidance. Great product.
This was such a fun resource to help my students learn about main idea and details. My students loved looking through the mystery bags and trying to figure out what each bag's main idea was.
