What Teachers Are Saying About This Back To School Activities Classroom Challenge:

⭐⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This resource is so well done and will be a great way to start the year with my students. All of the directions and photos of the items in use are very clear and helpful.

⭐⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My students have enjoyed using this resource. They ask when we are going to do another section. It has tied in well with our theme, as well as, helped them think beyond themselves.

⭐⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This has been, by far, my favorite TpT purchase. I am a new teacher and I bought this not quite knowing how much of a valuable resource I was getting. We do "Fun Friday" with this. I added my own touches and created a huge bulletin board and the students could not be any more excited to vote on the number they get to open and complete. Thank you for such an amazing resource!
