These puzzles are kind of pricy, but they keep my students engaged for hours. Well, maybe not hours, but you know what I mean. :)

Brooklyn, NY, ELA Common Core Handout
I had the BEST time working with the teachers at PS 161! They were so positive and happy, and school's not even out for the summer yet. :)
I had a few hours to explore New York City, and I can't wait to go back. It's one of my favorite places to visit. I could never afford the brownstone loft near Central Park that I'd like to live in for a summer...
