Agree!

I truly appreciate these starter packs for educators. This is the easiest way to get inspired and connect with other educators.

It’s wonderful that they approach it in this way and you give them the room to.

Great post! I use Spent every year with my students. They play through at least 3 times: just for "fun", making the "easy" choices - ones they want, making the "hard" choices - ones they have no choice if they want to make it to the end of the month. It is usually pretty powerful. #EduSky #EdTech
