A few of my students celebrated birthdays yesterday and we were able to give them the bookmarks and the pencils. They really love them. We were sad that we couldn't get the mailbox, but it's OK.

Some students need additional practice, while others are ready for enrichment and a greater challenge. These resources give me the flexibility to provide appropriate activities for both.
