Or is it just month to month there's a saint for each month and those with good behavior get that saint? I'm teaching middle school, and love this idea! It's my first year, so I'm not sure I have the time or resources to make it happen this year, but next year I'd love to utilize this!

If you had A LOT of cards, you could use a photo storage box (they usually come with dividers) and supplement with extra dividers- usually can find them in office supply stores.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04459924589076871715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984730425043117844.post-24866651661438609282019-06-24T13:43:49.819-05:002019-06-24T13:43:49.819-05:00What container do you use now to hold all the card...What container do you use now to hold all the cards?McKaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04418893334954063883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984730425043117844.post-12522282238129877972015-09-09T08:33:16.894-05:002015-09-09T08:33:16.894-05:00I came up with a different way to collect the card...I came up with a different way to collect the cards. While I like hanging it up for all to see, I thought it would be more hassle and work. Instead, I glued a clasp envelope inside the cover of each student's notebook and will put the "Name is growing in saintly virtue" on that. I think it will be more efficient timewise as well for me and the kids, and that's certainly necessary for ccd!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14120865033676075065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984730425043117844.post-26573763944983034612015-07-10T17:03:39.916-05:002015-07-10T17:03:39.916-05:00Thanks!

I plan on dumping all the cards in a box and not caring about organization. :) I'll have a roomful of boys (like 25 boys and five or six girls) - pray for me!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14120865033676075065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984730425043117844.post-24320343136866953042015-07-10T16:37:01.582-05:002015-07-10T16:37:01.582-05:00Hi Nicole!

The trick is making sure the kids close the binder rings completely, especially if you will be moving it. In the room where you teach, is there a chalkboard or whiteboard with a chalk tray? It would work well to clip both ends of the chain to the tray and letting the card collections hang horizontally. It would be easy for the kids to find their own then! I'd love to hear back from you about how it works for you!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04459924589076871715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984730425043117844.post-36086016468179682232015-07-10T16:35:38.982-05:002015-07-10T16:35:38.982-05:00Hi Nicole!

I saw some photo / card type books which are neat for kids but to do a classroom of kids, this is ideal. Do you think it would get hopelessly knotted up if I had to put it up and take it down each week for CCD? I could maybe use a photo album and each pocket is for a kid. But the visual string of kids/cards is nice.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14120865033676075065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3984730425043117844.post-42011364931743954392015-06-24T10:35:45.305-05:002015-06-24T10:35:45.305-05:00Thanks, Terri!
