Kids love these - but no adhesive sticks to them

I love these little signs, but I can't get anything to stick to them so I can hang them on my walls. I'm sure laminating will help, but I specifically chose posters that weren't shiny because my classroom lights make them hard to read. I ordered four sets of posters like this (but different themes) and two of them are made of this magical annoying material that tape and 3M products don't work on.
Staff's Response: Hi Mary, Thanks for your review! Great to hear you love the signs, but sorry to hear about the issue with hanging. We think the printer may have accidentally used a different stock that has the "magical" coating on both sides, not knowing it could pose a problem hanging them. I am emailing you regarding the issue with the signs. Thanks again for sharing your experience and we will take care of the issue for you! -Kristin

I love these posters, however I believe I found two mini-posters with errors. "Tranquil" ... should be "Tranquilo/a" and "No me lo creo"....should be "No lo creo"
Staff's Response: Thank you so much for voicing your concerns. We have thoroughly reviewed these issues with our proofreading team, and they agree that both the language in the product and the alternatives you suggested are acceptably correct. There are instances in which we consciously choose common usage/slang/regionalisms, this product is one instance - the use of slang, etc. is not suitable in all materials, and it should be done only as a conscious choice, where appropriate - but in this case it was intended, so no changes to the product will be made. If something looks off, we want to know about it are happy to further investigate any issues you spot, so thanks again for bringing this up!
Keeps the conversation going!

Laminate these and add some magnetic tape or use magnetic clips to hang on your board and students will be able to easily add to any conversation! I change them periodically to give some variety.
