weekly trifolds Essential ? Comprehension Grammar Structural Analysis Spelling Vocabulary

teachers,

these trifolds cover so much information for your McGraw

Hill week!! We complete an activity or two each day and

then turn them in Thursday afternoon. They take them home to

study and refresh for the test on Friday.. I have made them 2

sizes and both are great. If you copy them back to back on

8.5x11 all you need to do is fold them in thirds (the kiddos get

real good at this ;) If you’d like to offer a bigger space to the

kids just print on 11x14 paper and increase the size 121%. Don’t

have 11x14 only 11x17 paper? I’ve done that too ;) Just cut off 3

inches prior to copying, enjoy!!

Lory
