I use ziplocks for any number of things daily from beads to storing paper squares for a math project. Each student in my class got a new box of crayons to refresh their personal supplies, which is so wonderful to be able to provide for them.\r\nMy classroom is able to better support my students when simple things like having enough crayons for every student is not a concern for anyone.
