Teacher Feedback

1. “As always, another great resource for including non-fiction articles into the classroom. I used this at home with my own kids, but I can not wait to use [it] with my class next year.  It also makes for a great cross-curricular tie-in when looking at human impacts on the environment, ecosystems, etc.”
