What educators are saying
This is the perfect resource to review government before state testing. I have always had to hodge podge something together before because it isn't part of our 5th grade standards but I like to review it before testing. Cannot wait to be super prepared this year with my Tony the Tourist unit!
This was a great comprehensive government study. I was thankful that I didn't have to seek out other resources to supplement.
