    We used this in the days preceding our winter break. The students found this highly engaging, as it was much more hands-on learning than is typical. They worked in cooperative groups for the challenges and some said it those were some of our best days. -Teresa B.

    Excellent resource. I prepared materials and allowed groups of students to select a “station” and complete tasks before trying another activity. It worked wonderfully. My kindergarteners were able to complete 1-3 activities depending on their collaboration skills. -Donna Sorgen

    This was a fantastic holiday STEM resource. My grade 1 and 2’s loved the parachute Santa activity. I also loved that we were able to use it remotely too when some of my students were learning from home. My Kindergarteners were loving the Elf on a Shelf activities too. Great resources! I’ll definitely use this again next year! -Michelle B.
