These were a lifesaver at the beginning (and middle) of the year. It was nice to start the year with these great activities and it was even better to reuse a few of them in the middle of the year when we needed a reset. Thank you!

Fantastic resource to start the year building classroom community. There are enough activities that can continue to build and reinforce the idea of community all year long. Having it up all year and allowing student access will help them self direct and become more independent. ( I used this in 2nd grade and did adjust some of the activities to better meet my classrooms needs.)
