Praise for Fun Fact Cards

Here’s what teachers and parents said:

“We love these! BRILLIANT!”

“I LOVE these calendar facts. My class looks forward each day to me reading the “fun fact.” Thank You!!”

“So fun to use. I have bought these for every month for calendar time! Love them! Thank you!”

One teacher shared:

“My kids are addicted to reading these facts cards every morning. If I forget to read one, they are sooo quick to remind me. And the parents are learning too! During conferences, I had many parents tell me how much they had learned from their children when we read the apple and pumpkin cards. Thanks!”
