*******Frequently Asked Questions*******
How can I implement this binder into my schedule?
This toolkit is great for both in classroom or distance learning. Students can use this binder as their own personal reference tool for anchor charts, instructional mats, hands-on paper manipulatives, and more! It will serve as a great tool for both math and literacy instruction.
How do students best use this toolkit?
I suggest that teachers print what they need for the 1st quarter of the school year. The pages that you would like your students to write on could be placed in a sheet protector and the student can use a vis-à-vis marker to write and wipe over and over again. This will save on paper and allow for the student to use the activities repeatedly.
How do you store the paper math manipulatives?
Once the students have cut apart their math manipulatives, I suggest that they get stored in a plastic baggie, pencil pouch, or sheet protector that gets stored inside of the binder. If you’d like to laminate the math manipulative sheets prior to the students cutting them out, this will help with the durability.
Is this program found in another bundle?
No, sorry this bundle is a stand-alone resource! It is not found in any other bundle, nor is it a repeat from another resource.
What grade is this resource geared towards?
This toolkit was designed specifically to meet the needs of 1st and 2nd grade students.
Are there black and white options for printing?
Yes! There are black and white as well as full color options for all the sheets in this file.
Can this program be used for distance learning?
YES! This program was designed specifically for this current school year and the need for each student to have their own materials. If this toolkit is used in the classroom, it will cut down on the need to pass out papers. It will also provide students with their own math manipulatives so they don’t have to share with others. If this toolkit is used at home, it will set the student and parents up for success by providing them with everything they need to learn the new skills throughout the school year.
This resource now includes digital manipulatives! Check them out below!
What are teachers saying about the Lucky Little Toolkit?
“Thank you SO much for making this toolkit for students!! You have thought of everything that the students may need whether in class social distancing or remote learning all in one binder! I am so impressed! Thank you again this binder will be so useful this year and years to come!” -Michelle M.
“I was amazed at how much is provided in this resource!! I teach K-4, and I found resources that all my students could use for both math and literacy. My students now have individual binders to use to refer to visuals that we have used, and this resource was very helpful in compiling visuals for various reading comprehension, phonetic, and math skills at all my student’s levels.” -Danielle F.
“I made copies for each of my students to keep in their binders as a reference. Many concepts are covered and I love how visual supports are incorporated. When I had learners go remote, they took their binder home and referenced these while learning at home!” -Katherine M.
“I am working in person but also have students online. I created binders for both groups of students and it allows me to make sure that wherever my students are learning they have tools and resources in front of them. I love this!” -Heather D.

I couldn’t go a day without using this resource! I love using it to help provide support for students and to use the graphic organizer during ELA time!
Kara A. –
I absolutely love this resource. It makes my students more independent with “using their resources” to help them with work.
Brandi L. –
The toolkit was everything I needed and more! This is a great resource if you are needing manipulative for all of your students. Not only are the hands on manipulatives amazing, but being able to use the virtual manipulatives to model for my students in class was wonderful. So happy I purchased this. Thanks!
Brook B. –
This has been a lifesaver this year!!!! Kiddos love this and I am thankful for all of the already created resources I can pull from!
Heather B. –
The resources in this toolkit are so useful for whole class references as well as for small group instruction. I have used some of the pages in their Math folders. I have created “tool bags” for the students so they each have their own set that they can bring back and forth to home. Thank you!!!
Kenna B. –
I used this to send activities through the app Seesaw. It was great for whole group instruction using the same template.
The Heart of a Teacher –
This resource saved me during virtual teaching last year!! I made a binder for every one of my kids and that made it so much easier to teach out of!! Now that we are in person, I haven’t used a bunch of the materials, but I have pulled from some of it to help in my teaching. Great resource!
Mary D. –
I put these together for my students at the beginning of the school year and they referred to them all year. Such a great resource.

I made a resource binder for each student to reference as needed. My plan is to get them used to looking things up on their own to help with their learning.

I bought this when we were distance learning to create tool kits to send home with my students. They loved having manipulatives at home to move around instead of just staring at the screen.
I plan on making a set to send home this year so parents can have something at home to work on with their children.

McKenzie A. –
This is the first year I have implemented take home binders and I LOVE this resource! It has been great for the students to have quick access to all the things I need them to know and review, and the parents really appreciate them as well!
Maria Mayborn –
I can create resources but I saw another teacher had used the 120 chart from this. package and it was perfect. I am a special education teacher with reading disability so I understand how all the sweet little decorations, borders, and cutesie fonts can be a real barrier for students. I usually need to cut off the borders to create a clean tool that supports my students. The font, font size and chart are the best I have found anywhere. The package has nearly every tool you could need all in one file. So helpful. I highly recommend this. resource!
Elaine Garcia –
WOW! this will be more than you will ever need. I used this product to create my math reference folders. Printed and put sheets in protectors for students to reference and eventually also use EXPO with. The folder stays with them so they can use it as needed.
Gienna L. –
This resource is amazing!! It covers every graphic organizer you could think of. My students refer to this binder very often.
Ashley M. –
I love how many different resources are included in this pack! I use it all the time for planning. I also love the different versions with black and white and color and also lined and unlined. I prefer using the lined resources with my 1st graders.
Angela G. –
This resource is a great time-saver! It has everything in one place to support my students when they need a little extra help. I will use it for years to come.
