Those workbooks were a great way to ensure students had something to do over their break, they were very excited to see new stories and activities to complete. The books and additional activities were distributed in the white paper bags, and the students were able to decorate them and take them home.The fidget tools and some of the stuffers were used as classroom prizes and incentives for students to earn and use in class.
