What educators are saying

I have married this with another project to create my own version; however, this resource was amazing!! I teach a lower level class and it really incorporates a lot of fun and meaningful elements in a way that is easy to differentiate!!
My students loved this project. I picked it because I personally enjoy traveling and was able to learn a bit myself! Kids loved being able to choose their own location. Great options on topics. Very well put together material.
