My students loved using this resource for their work. They were engaged in the resource and had no trouble getting started. It didn’t take much time to prepare this resource, so it was easy for me to use. I may have adapted it a little bit for my multi-age group. It was a lot of fun. — Lisette D. Rated 5 out of 5 stars!
