Such great icebreakers. I love the different options for each FCS class, makes them so much more engaging.

—Ashlee W

My students enjoyed using this resource - even the ones that aren't usually engaged! It took us about 35 minutes to do the matching activity and 15 minutes to do the reflection. It was a great introduction to the Career Exploration unit I teach. I'll definitely be using it again!

— Ashley B.

Great, editable template! I really like that this template allows for digital use and also the ability to print fill in as needed. Thank you!

Great resource to use as part of my chocolate unit. It's so nice NOT to have to recreate the wheel when you happen upon just the right resource! Thank you!

— Jennifer W.

My students had a great time creating and cooking their grilled cheese sandwiches. It was a fun activity for the kids to get students engaged. The judges even asked a few groups for their recipes!
