See What Other Teachers Are Saying . . .

⭐ I am currently a student teacher and I had to complete my first observation. My students were engaged in the resource! My supervisor and teacher really enjoyed the lesson taught. I would definitely recommend the worksheets and activities!

⭐ My students enjoyed this information.  It was a great way to reinforce the three types of communities. Students could always go back to the passage for support to find details about the three communities.

⭐ This is such a great product. It has everything you need for teaching communities. My students were so confused with the differences and after using this resource, they had such a better understanding. Love and will definitely use over and over.
