Every year, as I get ready to go back to school, I pack my pencil case with such excitement. I put each little thing in carefully, ready to be used for fun projects and activities. Here's a little list of the items I always try to have in my pencil case.
At least 4 pencils
At least 2 pens
At least 1 highlighter (I prefer many, so I can categorize them)
One permanent marker (Just if you need to label anything, etc)
At least one eraser (It's good to have extras)
One pencil sharpener (unless you're using mechanical pencils)
