A few have even expressed interest in writing their own mysteries!\r\n\r\nThe playing cards have also been a tremendous hit! The students use them often to practice their multiplication facts. Their favorite game to play is War. As an added bonus, using the cards to play math games is also teaching the students to use good sportsmanship.\r\n\r\nIn addition to the texts and playing cards, everything else funded in this project has been greatly appreciated.
