HOW I USE THIS AS A TEACHER:

• Assign as stations and let students rotate or provide each activity per day/week
• Assign digital versions to save paper
• I teach 360 students each week in grades K through 4th, so I created these activities to be able to easily set up, use reusable materials, and need low copying!
• I adjust response sheets and challenges to meet each grade level. I need something quick and easy for me, yet engaging and challenging for my students! I hope your students enjoy these as much as mine do! :)
