For Zoey & Sassafras Dragons & Marshmallows Book Companion Lapbook & Bingo Game
September 13, 2025I love doing lap books with my students so I of course had to purchase this one. I really like that the characters are present to be colored and added to the lap book and the bingo was a nice added touch. I would have liked some more ideas for the blank writing pages and I did feel it was a bit on the expensive side, but overall this is a resource I would purchase again.

For Trace, Write & Draw Minecraft Printable: Handwriting & Spelling Practice
April 15, 2025I bought this to use with one of my students with complex needs. He is a very strong student, however, he needed additional support with his printing. We bought this to hopefully engage him in extra printing practice and he loves it!! This has become one of his favourite parts of the day!! He often will trace the first sentence and then come up with an expanding idea to print neatly on the extra lines.

This makes me so very happy! Thank you so much for sharing and for the incredibly important job you do every day. You are appreciated.
