Hereโs what teachers are saying:
โ๏ธ “I used this worksheet as a follow up activity to a history article on Leap Year. My students absolutely loved it! Some parts were challenging and they got stuck (but that’s the point of this being a “challenge” ๐ when they finished the paper they were so proud of themselves and were surprised with some of the answers they got stuck on. Thank you for creating this!!!!!!” -Megan F.
โ๏ธ “Great for morning work activity and slightly challenging. This covers math, vocabulary, social studies and writing! Can’t wait to spring this on them tomorrow! We also found out that anyone born on “Leap Day” is called a “Leapling!”” -Brenda M.
โ๏ธ “Thank you for taking the time to create this material. It is awesome!” -Melissa R.
