What educators are saying

This was a great way for my students to learn about Dia de los Muertos, and also to practice using text evidence to support answers. Great activity!
Both heritage speakers and other students enjoyed learning about Mexico and the holiday. The page flowed nicely, with good images. I enjoyed being able to assign in virtually. The Q/A did a good job checking for understanding.
