Thanks, friend! SO appreciate your help!
This is so wonderful! Thank you for sharing! I am currently a grad student in elementary education, and I'm working with 3rd graders on Continents and Oceans. I love all your resources and ideas!
Hi there! I just ran across your It's a Small World Continent Study on Pinterest and I love it!!!! How do I get it? The only thing I can print is the word search at the end. Everything else will only let me "Pin It"…which I did do =)
You can snag it on TpT – the link is in this post, just above the word search 🙂
I subscribed to your newsletter but wasn't able to print the word search.
