♥ Eight posters with the strategies
♥ Three different options for documentation of the cards you have used and data collection.
♥ An exit ticket
*The cards are 3.3 inches tall by 5.9 inches wide and are three to a page.
Set Up:
♥Print, laminate, and cut out the cards. There are labels included so you can organize them by skill. I like to organize mine in the Recollections™ Color Photo & Craft Keeper from Michaels. If you don't have this, you can also hole punch the cards and put them on loose leaf rings.
♥I would recommend printing the cards one set at a time. For example, print all of the inferring iguana cards together. That makes it easier to manage and keep organized.
♥You will need dry erase markers for some cards.
♥ I've also included 3 different options for documentation of the cards you have used and data collection.
**I'll be honest, this is a big resource! It took me a decent amount of time to print, laminate, cut out, and organize the cards. Once it's done, you will be so happy because you can use it throughout the school year! I just want you to know that there is some prep involved before you purchase! ;) *Please* ask any and all questions before purchasing. Product is available as is. Sorry no custom edits at this time.
