Notebook Paper and Pencils

Christopher has gone through two 100-page packs of notebook paper and about 10 mechanical pencils. They are disposable, but still 10?

He now will go the old fashioned, sharpen your own, no. 2 pencil route. Those are about 20 for $1. The disposable mechanical pencils are around 5 for $3.

And, the three-ring, three-inch binder is on its last leg. That binder is packed. Each subject has a tab. Two of the tabbed areas have spiral notebooks. The social studies tabbed area also has a workbook. Plus, he keeps notebook paper and his zippered pencil case in the binder. The plastic pockets are tearing and the outside edges of the binder are beginning to bend and give.

Round two of school supplies is upon us and we haven't even finished the first nine weeks.
