Really excited to use this unit! Everything I have purchased from you has been outstanding! Thank you so much for quality work!
Thank YOU for your continued support! It makes me beyond happy that you are finding my work helpful in your class.
Excellent resource. Our homeschool will be using these to stop the summer-slide.
That's a fantastic idea! Thank you very much for the feedback.
This resource is absolutely incredible!! I love the idea of the fairytales-like you said in your rationale: it's so much easier to apply these icons to texts they are already familiar with. It brings success to them quicker, and inspires them take on the challenge of applying them to new material we'll encounter through the year. Older students still have that "little kid" inside of them, and I believe my middle schoolers will love revisiting these tales. I cannot wait to begin next school year with this resource! Keep the products coming!!
Thank you for one of the best "feedbacks" EVER. I really do appreciate the time and care you took to leave your response. And, yes, TOTALLY appropriate for middle school and beyond; there are actually some pretty "deep" elements to fairytales that older students can really dive into.
Just what I was looking for! Thank you!
Great book! Thank you for the feedback.
This is a really great resource that is very flexible. I look forward to incorporating them in the fall.
Thank you for the feedback.
