It's perfect for those awkward v minutes when yous become through your lesson innovation agency faster than yous expected. Kids LOVED it, but every fourth dimension nosotros did it I would experience similar the activity could run to a greater extent than smoothly. I loved the activity then much it made an appearance inward my 21 Ideas for the First Week of School post.

My students' endure was merely a fiddling likewise messy for my liking.



Plus, about kids would desire to redraw the boxes EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Here's the template I came upwards with:
