While some items were consumable (the card stock), I laminated the game cards you see after cutting them out, and children play with them to practice sounding out words. The locking, rolling file cart that contains their work and data are finally secure in the locked cart you provided, and you see we use that surface so that students can work on a small group or alone anywhere in the room. I cannot thank you enough, and wanted you to know that last year, our literacy test scores for my class were the highest they have been in eight years.
