Since I don’t have a dedicated school room, I keep this magic box of cards to fuel my one-on-one time with the younger kids, and once in a while, the Bigs.
My very favorite is the science sequencing cards. In our school, sequencing is the BIG DEAL in kindergarten. First this happened, then THIS happened, and FINALLY this happened. I HEART using science for kindergarten sequencing. No lame-o sequencing of teethbrushing. I want to slip in some RICHNESS.
