I completely understand whoever said what is it with second graders and pencils. I have no idea but my room is going to have a change this year with the pencils. However I must say that I had pencil shapeners continual
breaking so I found a pencil sharpener at Sam's that a light comes on when the pencil is sharp. That way the students know when the light comes on they are done. Otherwise I have students that would stand there and sharpen pencils all day long. I had community markers this year that worked extremly well because all the students used them and their was no fighting about so and so has my
marker because they belonged to everyone. I usually send out a wish list on the bottom of my monthly newletter that says the classroom is running low on the following: glue, paper towels, and baby wipes. Or whatever the case might be and I have parents that will usually be out and find a deal and send in a pack of paper towels. I have found getting something is better than getting nothing. When you have to buy everything out of your own pocket I have started getting over the general asking because I am not telling just some parents and I am not saying that they have to it is just out there if they want to.
