Thank you for purchasing this cut
and paste activity! Over the years I
have found that students enjoy this
type of activity far more than a
regular worksheet. I have created
hundreds of these for a variety of
topics in my own classroom. I am
now happy to be able to share them
with you. These activities can serve
as a center activity, exit ticket, quiz,
independent work, or informal
assessment. I hope that your
students enjoy this page as much as
my own!
