What Are Teachers Saying About the 13 Colonies Bundle?

I used this resource with my students and I REALLY enjoyed the amount of interactive notebook pieces so students would be able to go back in future lessons, on study guide day, or anything related to future learning and they'd be able to access that prior knowledge through the notebook piece.

-Marley M.

This resource was awesome! It included so much stuff about British colonization that I could use with my students. I was able to break it up to use throughout the whole unit and my students really knew their stuff at the end of it.

For someone that didn't really like history, but had to teach it for a few weeks, this was an amazing resource that laid it all out for you! Thank you!
