The fact I can print out their worksheets in color or if a student lost a copy and I can easily print out a new one from the convenience of my classroom, is truly amazing. The wipes come in handy with cleaning desks and anything students commonly share or touch. The dots for my small group are always a favorite and usually they rip quickly due to the students writing on them at my small group. Lastly, the games! Those are always a favorite for my students to be able to review or reinforce their skills through play.
