Sticky Notes in the Classroom
In the classroom, I use these sticky squares in different ways. Besides, using them on anchor charts, I like to get all fancy with them because I did not inherit the teacher’s handwriting gene.
During the summer months, I like to print templates to have them ready to go when I need them.
