R.I.P Treasure Box

I don't know about the rest of ya'll, but sending kids to the "Treasure Box" is one of my least favorite things to do. I dislike filling it, trying to find things to fill it with...really, everything about it. So, when I found this new post through Pinterest on First Grader...at Last! by Sarah Cooley...I was HOOKED! So I created my version of Sarah's Best "Beehavior" Catalog...a Treasure Binder. So I have some good news and bad news..Bad news, I don't have a commercial license, so I can't share my creation. Good news, it took only a couple hours to complete, so have fun creating one personalized for your class.
