“Another great kit! My class really enjoyed the Little Gardens and we can’t wait to see how well they grow. The code crackers tied in nicely with the class novel that we were reading this term (a chapter book called Follow That Spy!) We did have some technical issues downloading the pdfs and found the digital components this year a little hard to keep up with (personally I preferred the previous kits that included all the hard copy materials ready to go). Thanks for all the hard work from the School Kit team and a big thanks to the sponsors for these great resources.”
