My students enjoy doing things with tape. We will post the visuals with these words as a lesson. One day, I will buy another set of pocket charts and then figure out how to get it on the wall. (My students destroy staples and pushpins)

4) the dead squirrel has no interest in being your fidget

Never, ever underestimate my class again with any toy. This was found after a toy was partially pried open and then we found the marbles all across the classroom. Got them all before someone tried to eat themโฆ
