What are others saying?!

This resource is worth every single penny! You have thought of everything! Thank you so much for putting together such a thorough and engaging resource. My students loved every single second of it. -4th Grade Teacher

I used this the last full week of school and it was amazing. There were more than enough activities to have all my lessons for the week be camping themed. My class absolutely loved it and said it was one of the best parts of the year.

– 4th Grade Teacher

I loved the theme of the Camping, but realized that it was mainly only being used in lower grades. I wanted to use it upper elementary, so that we could have a fun end of the year theme week! That is why I created a unit where the students would be engaged, but also learning and practicing higher level skills! I hope your kiddos are as engaged as mine are during this week!

Much Love,
