Does anyone remember those pencil boxes they used to make a while back that had buttons on them?

Jul 20, 2007 by ilovestarbucks08 | Posted in Toys

OK back in the 90's Disney and Sanrio and probably other people used to make these really cool pencil boxes that had buttons on them. Like I had a Sanrio one with a bear on it and it had buttons with a pop out magnifying glass, coin holder, money slot, thermometer, pencil sharpener etc etc. I REALLY WANT TO FIND ONE OF THESE TO BUY! Preferably Sanrio, but anything girly looking will probably work. PLEASE HELP!

This site has a Hello Kitty pop-up pencil case, which is probably what you are looking for. http://www.popgadget.net/2006/03/tricked_out_hel.php
It's very girly too. I am looking for just a picture myself of one I use to have in grade school. It was blue and it had the characters PiPi and BerBer on it. Still trying to track down classic pencil cases so I can find it but no such luck yet.

Teachers -- do 1st graders NEED to have personal pencil boxes?

Aug 27, 2007 by mizzfroggi | Posted in Teaching

I was hired to teach 1st grade at a very disadvantaged school. This is my first year and I'm broke after taking a year off to get my credential. The classroom was pretty empty... I've already spent over $300 on stuff that's difficult to teach without (pocket chart, chart paper, white boards, calendar...).

To make a long story short, I don't want to buy 20 pencil boxes for the kids to keep their stuff in (crayons, pencils, scissors...). I planned to just have them keep that stuff in tubs in center of each table group.

But every other teacher has boxes. :-(

Is this something I should feel bad about? Do the kids really need boxes for some crazy reason that I'm just failing to see?

One person already commented about me not having pencil boxes ready... I just found it odd that this would be something that someone would notice about my classroom....

No you do not need for your students to have pencil boxes and in fact it is typically better for them not to have one. They just take up a lot of room and are another possible distraction for students. It is much easier to have the supplies in designated areas and allow the children to pick things up as they need them. Appoint a helper, a child who is responsible, to pass out the items to the students when they are needed and pick them up when the activity is done.

Many teachers believe that their way is the only way things can/should be done. If you do something different, it brings up the possibility that there might be a better way to do things than the way they are doing it. They don't like that too much too often.

Just do things the way you want to do them. If someone makes an issue of something that you are doing, just say that you are not going to do things that way in your room.

What is the difference between a small pencil/supply box and a trapper keeper?

Aug 04, 2007 by Kristin D | Posted in Grade-Schooler

My stepdaughter's school supply list wants a small pencil/supply box, but not a trapper keeper. What am I supposed to be looking for?

A pencil box is just a small plastic box with a lid that latches shut... they are everywhere right now, in every school supply aisle. Trapper Keepers are more like 3 ring binders.

Where can I buy cardboard pencil boxes? In a store, not online.?

Cardboard or chipboard, not plastic.

Preferrably with out clasps, handles, etc. Don't care what's printed on them, I'm just going to cover them up.

I know I buy them on the internet, but I don't need a dozen, just one or two

I've tried Michaels, Target, Kmart, and Big Lots. I'm really surprised Michaell's didn't have them.


Thanks for your help.

you can make your own from old cartons, discarded cereal boxes, other cardboard containers, etc. Cut & paste to your required size & shape - customized! And then cover with beautiful paper/paint/fabric, etc. &/or adorn with sequins/beads & so on
you can even get templates to use for cutting. try this site for some beautiful templates in various shapes & sizes --- www.mirkwooddesigns.com

hope this helps
all the best
