Happy teacher feedback
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ZaGon says,
“I used this as a beginning of the year activity. I LOVE LOVE how many options are provided and LOVE LOVE that there are samples. Love the resource. ”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rachael T says,
“My students enjoyed this getting to know you activity and loved using their creativity to express their individual self. Each student was very different in how they represented themselves in each square. Some followed the example but put their own spin on it and others went in their own direction. It was a great experience.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Prepping with Parlon says,
“My students loved this resource. It really showed us educators how our students see themselves. Way more mature than your typical “about me” projects
