I did something similar, but one difference is, I used a multitude of colors. I
looked for every color of index card I could find, so that there were only a few of
each color for each class. When we laid the cards out on a table, it was much
easier for each child to find his/her own.
We used the same library cards for the six years the students were in the school.
