I always try to incorporate Christmas around the world into my classroom in December. It has become more difficult over the years with all of the assessments we must complete during this time. This was a fantastic product for incorporating some of those traditions into our classroom. This was my students’ favorite holiday activity.

My students loved this! It was a learning curve at first BUT once we got going navigation was simple and they worked through each part very well. I liked the team work I saw as they read – I had them clicking through together (kids gave thumbs up when ready, Pod Captain cued: Ready set click to move stay together), talking about the answer options, correcting each other – stating where evidence was in the text – showing each other. Was a great experience to finish Text Features!
