Please forgive me, but this post is going to be quick… I am EXHAUSTED! Hopefully you can use the following tip… which actually has to do with losing pencils, not Chex Mix. {I hope you know the commercial I’m referencing, or else I might just sound crazy comparing Chex Mix and pencils… anyways!!}
In my classroom, pencils are eaten lost all the time. It’s enough to have to deal with our community pencils disappearing {the ones in the “sharp/not sharp” buckets}, but I just can’t take it when my center pencils are missing, too {the ones I keep in my center supply baskets}. To help prevent this, I decided to label those pencils:
I simply wrapped some decorative tape around the eraser-end of the pencils. Now my kiddos know that the taped pencils MUST go back in the center bins! They are not free for the taking!! So far, so good 🙂
Okay, I did say this would be quick! I’m off to pass out! Sweet dreams!!
