I needed an activity for my fast finishers after a quiz…this activity was perfect! The reading is comprehensible and the coloring kept them quiet and engaged!

This was the perfect resource to engage students in conversation and TL after coming back from break. A nice soft launch to get them communicating about themselves and resetting after a long break
