I was having the same problem as you describe with pencils, but for me, it was pens. I asked the student who always borrows pens for me and always forgets to give them back what he thought a good idea was so I could make sure I didn’t have to keep buying new pens. He said I should charge a dollar, and I told him I didn’t think that was gonna work. He suggested that I swap things. So for the end of last year every time someone borrowed a pen they had to leave some thing with me. They wouldn’t wanna leave in the classroom. I had backpacks laptops and water bottles all exchanged to borrow a pen. I never lost another pen after that.

Hello! I teach World History 8 and I found a world map shower curtain. 😁
COOL! I need a budget for just curtains, ha! My friend down the hall got a fireplace one and it's so cozy!
Can you share a copy of that sweet snoopy poster you have made. :)
Good idea! I will try to find it this week and put it as a free item for download in my TPT shop.
Where did you get your shower curtains…..they’re awesome!
I agree
