What educators are saying

I did this today with my class. This was THE BEST EVER!!!!! I had the office staff and Title 1 staff come in to "vote" on which house they would buy! The students had a BLAST!
This project based learning kept planning easy and kept my 1st grade enrichment group highly engaged. I was able to strech this project out for 4 weeks.
