What educators are saying

I used this during our Literacy week focused on "Diving Deep." My students and I LOVED this! I loved that I was able to differentiate the activities based on my students' needs and that they were so engaged because the information and activities were fun! Thank you!
My students loved using this resource, they were engaged and motivated to continue working during small group. It is so easy to use and there is little prep time which I love. Thank you for creating.
