This box haunts my 2nd grade memories. Bleak, but using SRA was the first time I remember feeling competition, individualism, and ranking as important in the classroom. We learned to tie our worth in education to quick card completion and next leveling. I kind of get the chills thinking about it.

You found them nice. I loved them 😅 When we were ahead in school they were a reward for doing well. Permission to read short stories

Love that for you — wish that had been the approach in my class!

I remember them well, even in 9th grade.
