We had a church sponsor our entire school and provided bookbags full of supplies last year and this year and I also had a ton of stuff left over after last year!
Jenny, I'm intrigued by your pen-only classroom. I'd love to hear more about that. I imagine you're probably doing Lucy Calkins for writing, whose emphasis on pens vs. pencils is familiar to me, but I don't think I've seen a teacher eliminate pencils all together. Fill me in--why is that your approach? I'm a student teacher, and you with your great blog are one of my many mentoring teachers!
