“I have bought several different Hatchet workbooks, and I am AMAZED at this resource. I am throwing out everything I have used in the past. Hatchet is always my end of the year activity, and this will not only help them stay organized as they work, but also review every skill we have learned so far!” -Kaitlyn S.
