What teachers are saying...
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Such a good, easy display. I used this as a display for the whole school in the main hallway and students of all grades enjoyed stopping to look at it. They were excited to see names they knew!"
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I used these posters to decorate the outside of the media center for the month of February. Students read them on the way to lunch, recess, or their classrooms. Several of them were inspired to learn more about a particular person they saw on the posters, which had been my intent. Next year, I will use them again and create an activity to help the students interact with the posters more."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "This is great conversation piece we have used these daily to talk about each individual that is listed once we do that the children write about how this person had a impact on history!"
