⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Diana Y says,
“This is adorable! It’s visual which makes it very accessible to students. It also helps them to personalize the work they’re doing in the place of a traditional intro form.”

“This is the perfect size for my students to use; it is not too large or small. This makes learning about one another fun and not intimidating. Great to use at the beginning of a year.”
