**RANDOM TIPS: **
Here is a good use of two manila folders stapled together. The kids love them! - Justin (Sorry, I don't know how to flip this image)



I got this window idea from 3rd grade teacher, Michelle Logan. She uses the windows as word wall. Dry erase markers wipe off with water or windex and the kids love to write on the window. I used the windows in science to let groups present to the class.
