SEE WHAT TEACHERS ARE SAYING…Recommended for 3rd - High School

"This was a fun prank to pull on my students. They could not find any words at all in the word search, it was quite hilarious." Ashley, 4th Grade

"The students loved learning about the history behind writing pysanky, and they enjoyed using the traditional designs and colors to create their own designs. It was very clearly laid out for students, with lots of information for teachers as well. Having this as a digital resource also allowed my students with differing needs and abilities and students who were away from the classroom to complete the project with ease. I will definitely be using this resource next year!"-Carma, 7th-8th Grade

"This was very well laid out and contained everything I needed to create a fantastic bulletin board display! My students thoroughly enjoyed the carbon footprint activity (several needed bigger circles!) and it really helped them see how they are affecting the Earth."- Melanie 6th-7th Grade

"My students loved making this flower and poem for their moms.  It was very easy to follow the directions and the students were able to add their own personal touches to the end result.  I just laid out some additional craft items.”-Christy 4th Grade
