A TESTIMONIAL:
"Thank you so much Jean! What a treat (your PK cards are); most appreciated.
I have shared your wonderful resources with the other staff and they are really impressed.
We worked through the fairness one in class yesterday and I was wishing I had filmed the discussion with my Year 6's. What a fantastic resource.
Thanks again." Justine, NZ
