My Vice Principal once told me, find the most frustrating part of your day and make a procedure for it...well kids asking for pencils every class multiple times was my most frustrating part of my day! I personally can’t believe you come to any class without something to write with! I mean really, what do you expect to do in class that will not require some form of a writing utensil?!?!?!?! So I bought dollar store baskets (5 baskets for $1), $1 for a pencil sharpener, and two pencils. Each group has to have two pencils and a sharpener everyday, and no group can be dismissed from class until I check that they are there. So if a pencil goes missing, then someone has to donate one to my basket. I at first was really disappointed about the fact that my brand new pencils kept being….well ‘traded’ for short crappy pencils but then I was like, ‘whateves!!!’ So now I put whatever pencils I find in on the floor or anything. If a kid complains about the fact that they do not want to use a short pencil I casually will say to them, “bring your own pencil then!” I love it when I would hear them say “can I borrow a pencil” and their group member is like ‘we have them at our table!”
