Originally reviewed on TPTBeautifully created activity
I LOVE this activity! My classroom looks so wonderful with all the backpacks. I paired this activity with the book “Fauja Singh Keeps Going: The True Story of the Oldest Person to Ever Run a Marathon.” We discussed goal setting and how to achieve these goals. Thank you!
