They have been put to good use. \r\n\r\nThe file folders have really helped me cut down on paper consumption since I am able to keep track of all the lesson materials and reuse them. \r\n\r\nStudents use the sand and trays daily to get them to remember words by having them trace them in the sand. They love using them and it has been a big hit.
