comprehensive and value for money, what a great bundle
Great resource.
Very happy with this product. My class loved the activities!
This looks great! I can't wait to use it. Thank you!
I emailed the owner because the only PPT you get is 2 slides that have "PREVIEW" over it and she did not respond. Secondly, her instructions are not clear, and when I went to print articles from the website she linked in, the titles she used like "background" and "CDC fact sheet" where not labeled as soon on the website, causing confusion. I ended up just chalking this purchase and the copies I made up as a loss and I purchased a different bundle from another TPT store. Very disappointed in this material and lack of communication.
Thank you; will be a wonderful addition to the unit!
Thanks!
Hard to decipher what each part is and when it should be used. I expected a more clear outline of what to do first, then next, and then last. This is more of a bunch of supplemental activities, which I do plan to use, but just wasn't as complete as I had expected it to be.
I'm sorry to hear the outline felt unclear! I definitely didn't mean to make the description misleading. If you email me at activebrainscience@gmail.com I'd be happy to provide a more detailed outline with an order for the activities. I do hope you find the activities useful when you use them in your classroom and please let me know if there is any other way I can help. Thanks so much for your purchase. ~ Katie
