“A good way to tackle an uncomfortable subject. Thanks so much.”
“Used this for my special education classroom in a Jr/Sr. High school and it worked well for the lesson that I was completing. The topic can be difficult for the students to understand, or want to talk about, so this was a great purchase for me!”
“I bought this package for my high school special ed classroom. Personal hygiene is sometimes a difficult topic to discuss with teens, but something I needed to address as a life skill with my students. This package worked out perfectly! The activities were engaging, and lead to important discussions. I will be using the flashcards again to review! Great purchase :)”
