(My files are huge so to keep them free I post all my printables at The Catholic Toolbox Printables Yahoo Group- activities, worksheets, booklets, puzzles, handwriting, Take Home Sheets, story wheels, etc.)
Post cards on the bulletin board for future reference. There are lots of ways to use these for your students.
