Here's what other teachers are saying:

We did a whole week dedicated to "everything about Texas" and this was such a great resource to use throughout the week.

My favorite part was the different options for the same worksheets.

This made differentiation with my students SO EASY! I definitely plan to use these again!!

-Julia G.

It's hard to find current Texas resources for our young students. This packet was perfect. We hit many of our Social Studies TEKS and the activities kept my students engaged.
