The SuperHERO Teacher is by far one of my favorite sellers on TPT. This product, much like my other purchases from her, does not disappoint. The skills addressed in this product align directly with what I am required to teach my eighth grade students, and I appreciate how organized and well-designed it is. I am looking forward to implementing these activities during the upcoming school year.

AMAZING! Chock-full of resources that will come in SUPER handy this next year! I love that many of the pages are not text specific, so I can use the graphic organizers and thinking maps with any texts I choose! The vocabulary menu is also super functional, not to mention adorable.

This costs more than I normally would spend, BUT it is 100% worth it. I use “flexible learning” days every week and these activities just added remarkable student choice options to what I have already created. This was also a great resource to share with my student-teacher as she begins to prepare for her first teaching experience. Excellent!
