Cardstock is being used in many ways in our classroom. During the first week of school, kids made a super fun \"All About Me\" craft that reflected their identities and likes. They also use the cardstock to create a rainbow with an \"I Can Be Kind\" poster. In addition, my students enjoy hands-on activities like painting fall trees now that the fall season is here. Of course, pencils and glue sticks are used daily. Finally, the incentive charts are being used to reinforce on-task and positive behaviors in our classroom. \r\nWe could not be doing this work without your support.
