Half Page Printing Directions:  Print out the half page flipchart attached above. There are two boxes printed on one piece of paper. You should cut on the solid line to separate the two boxes. Use one hole punch in the top left corner and fasten all the pages together with a binder ring.

Full Page Printing Directions: Print out the full page flipchart attached above. On the full page version, use a three hole punch on the top of each page to fasten all the pages together with three binder rings.
