Data Cards

The following pages are the

four data cards.

It may work best to print these

on white paper so that the colors

of the items show up better.

It may also be better to laminate

these as well. They will be more

durable and you can use them

over and over again each year!

It may work best to print these on white paper

so that the colors of the items show up better.
