• “We used this during Founding Fathers Month. I split the class into groups and they used a teacher created nearpod to complete the boxes and then got to cut paste and color. The gallary walk was super fun but a bit time consuming. Students were highly engaged” – Desiree ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
• “My students enjoyed working on this project! It was a great way to end our unit”- Minerva ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
