♥ I cannot say enough wonderful things about this product!!! I have now used this product every day for an entire school year. This quickly became my favorite part of the day with my students and they felt the same!!!! We would have wonderful discussions about the various topics and they produced quality journal responses because they were engaged! Hands-down my favorite TPT purchase to date!!!
♥ This product is amazing, especially for the money. I would have been willing to spend much more on such a great product. Its organization is flawless, and the students love having a different activity every day of the week. Best teaching purchase I've ever had.
♥ HANDS DOWN THE BEST MONEY I HAVE SPENT! The kids adore it! They are so excited to see what the next day will bring. They get to class early so that they can discuss the prompts. The video prompts are my favorite. They all are things that really are meaningful to the kids. I've had several kids really open up after watching them. I wish there were more!
