Keeping Master Copies

Deeann Kaplanek, a fourth grade teacher in O-Neals, California

I make a master copy of all the items that I frequently use, such as attendance and story maps, on very pale pastel paper. Then, when I am handing out papers to the class, I know not to hand out my original black line master because it's on colored paper. This also gives me a visual cue that the file folder is getting low.
