Then again, punching all those slots for paper clips was a lot of work too. That being said, those clip cards DID hold up pretty well. <br /><br />I think I will try the post its for the days of school count; the little black numbers I created didn't work out. I think having them stick up on an upside down post it would work better. Thanks for the idea!amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15252920643013195783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323199342928849197.post-902445400559505202013-07-25T09:30:21.085-04:002013-07-25T09:30:21.085-04:00Never thought of the paper clip idea for the count...Never thought of the paper clip idea for the counting tape. It was a pain at first, but I laminated and cut those pieces (I think they were in sheets fresh out of the kit and now that they're broken apart it would be even worse). Now I can use tape to attach each piece and the tape tears off cleanly at the end of the year. I use post it notes to record the day of school - yellow for odd days, orange for even and pink for multiples of 10 just to help identify patterns. Something to think about!
