Ahh, school supplies! School supplies are the things on the back to school list that you wish you didn't have to spend money on -- but since you do have to spend money on them, yours might as well be awesome! I don’t think it’s as much an egotistical thing, as it is realizing that this is when you have the chance to pick a large variety of the things that will assist you in this years development! Why would you pick anything less than the things that make you feel great?
Right, that's exactly why so many teachers end up getting there printing needs fromBest Value Copy, online. However, it seems that almost anytime I frequent the mall in the early weeks of August, I'm guaranteed to see atleast one student trying on multiple items of clothing while their personal Back to School butler/maid holds Macy's bags filled with what I'd like to assume are #2 pencils and loose leaf paper...
Let’s face it, back to school shopping is the real Christmas in July; slightly displaced or not. Whether it’s new shoes, a Spider-Man bookbag, or the Crayola 150 count crayon tower with the protection case and crayon sharpener, back to school shopping can feel pretty good and blame the student. You don’t get the Crayola 150 count crayon tower with the protection case and crayon sharpener just because you think you might be the next crayola Picasso if given a chance -- with the right set of tools of course, but also, because things can easily be lost in classrooms!
In any case, whatever the reason, it may just feel like Christmas. It also feels nice knowing you have 8 expendable shades of blue in a room full of borrowers (better to give than receive) with inquisitive minds and mostly good intentions.
Yes, things are most definitely cheery and bright while teachers prep (workshop) for the school year printing lesson plans, worksheets, workbooks, study guides, and sometimes even fun mazes just because it’s awesome when you get to your desk and see one of those in the morning! Don’t tell me you’re not going to bust out a crayon and finish that maze.
TI-84s were nice in 2010 but how many students have a tablet on their back to school shopping list for the 2014 school year?
If you’re an educator or a parent we’d love to hear what it is you’ll be printing this school year for the students on your naughty and nice list? ;)
