I can’t say enough good things about this resource. If you’re reading this review to try to figure out if you should get it, the answer is YES. You need this. I used to pull together random pages for beginning of the year, but this is a great collection of meaningful yet engaging activities for the beginning of the year. So, you may as well stop reading these reviews and just go buy it already! 🙂
