This has so many different types of resources and has helped me make my immigration unit much more interesting. My students love the song, giving their opinions and being able to do the activities and understand.

Our district uses a textbook that doesn't cover immigration at all, so this was a great resource to use with topics covered in readers that we're using in class.

As always, The Comprehensible Classroom provides excellent lessons and resources. So easy to follow and so very engaging for students. It is EASY to spend more than the suggested amount of time on these materials!

I always love using the SOMOS curriculum, but I think this was very nicely done and much needed to understand the culture. My kids are learning spanish AND culture all in one.
