ALL TEACHER REVIEWS (12)

★★★★ “I am a specials teacher. I teach S.T.E.M. Sometimes classes come to me with high energy still flowing from recess, P.E., music, lunch ... and to help them bring their energy levels down a bit I do something we call "The First Five". We spend five minutes of our classtime together building our S.T.E.M. community. This resource was a great way to sit quietly and draw together. It was a wonderful way to relax and chat with one another for a few minutes before jumping into other content-related things.” Megan S.

★★★ “This resource was used after a read-aloud, the day the pencils went on strike. After the read aloud, the students followed the teacher's directed drawing steps and then wrote a sentence about their pencil. This was used for after school activity.” marsha P.

★★★★ “Did this in small groups with my preschool class, and they were able to follow the directions with ease!” Hillary H.
