I will use the pencil tools and coloring supplies to help us create thought thoughtful written responses, beautiful posters that show what we know, and super awesome art projects. This past school year ended like every other year: After purchasing tons and tons of #2 pencils, cap erasers, pencil sharpeners, washable markers and pre-sharpened colored pencils during August back-to-school sales, I somehow end up with almost zero supplies during the last month of the school year.
It seems like every August I'm buying more and more supplies because, despite my lengthy speeches and idle threats of not buying ANY MORE supplies, I'm desperately buying markers and pencils from the dollar store every May.
I love my kids but sometimes they take my colored pencils home without permission, sometimes they throw my #2 pencils in the garbage can because they like to pretend my garbage can is a basketball hoop, sometimes they dismantle my washable markers to make their art project more artistic, and somehow they find a way to rip their fresh cap erasers into a thousand different pieces during my whole-group math lesson.
