Cardstock Sale

A fabulous teacher blogger just posted this on IG.  This is what I do on the weekends...I'm heading there as soon as I publish this post.  We use cardstock for all of our task cards.  If you're at Michaels today and would like to donate to our classroom, please do.  We'll love you forever!
