<\/a><\/p>\nWhat I ordered:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Desk Calendar<\/li>\n
- Page Protectors<\/li>\n
- Manilla Folders – one for each student<\/li>\n
- Stickers (yes, even 8th graders love stickers)<\/li>\n
- Black Pens<\/li>\n
- Blue Pens<\/li>\n
- Lightbulbs (I have several lamps in my room for when we are using the SMARTBoard and the room lights are off)<\/li>\n
- Highlighters<\/li>\n
- Sharpies<\/li>\n
- Index cards<\/li>\n
- Invisible Tape + Dispenser<\/li>\n
- EXPO Markers for my whiteboards<\/li>\n
- Whiteboard erasers<\/li>\n
- Twist-n-Write<\/a> Pen\/Pencil – have you ever tried these? They are fantastic!<\/li>\n
- Pencils<\/li>\n
- Paper Clips<\/li>\n
- Binder Clips<\/li>\n
- Whiteout<\/li>\n
- An ELECTRIC Stapler! I squeal with excitement!<\/li>\n
- An ELECTRIC Pencil Sharpener! Be still my heart!<\/li>\n
- Another crazy super-powered stapler that can do 30 sheets at a time (P.S. WHY do my students always manage to break these? I buy 2 new ones every year!)<\/li>\n
- A Magnetic File holder (This is where I have students turn in their work)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
I have a few things yet that I will be purchasing with my own money:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Candy (incentives). Since I must be mindful of nut and dairy allergies, I usually get Smarties, Dum-dums, Jolly Ranchers, Peppermints, etc. Even those aren’t safe from allergies, however. I had a student who was allergic to food coloring \ud83d\ude41<\/li>\n
- Granola bars and snacks for the students who forgot breakfast\/lunch.<\/li>\n
- A silver Sharpie so I can try out this new idea I saw on Pinterest for a Reading Graffiti Wall. Expect a detailed post once I have finished it!<\/li>\n
- Some fashion duct tape so I can make flags on my pencils. They always walk off!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
I’m curious to see how much of these supplies I actually use this year, given that we are going one-to-one with iPads. I know there will still be a significant amount of handwriting, and we aren’t going completely paperless yet. I imagine my supply list will dwindle each year as we get used to relying more on our electronics.<\/p>\n
Do you think there is anything I missed? Do you have some Back-To-School items that you always purchase?<\/p>\n
