Some are from my Early Childhood Education course at SIAST and some were from Saskatchewan Education that I found online while make my partial Unit Plans last year for ECUR 311 & 316. Everything else is either stuff that I own or things that are usually available in a school. Example, Chart paper, Bristol board. ................
