I LOVE
school supplies, I think it has to be one of the reasons I enjoy the teaching
profession so much. Ever since I was young I always looked forward to getting
my assigned teachers and classes and also the school supply list. After these
would come in the mail my mom and I would make plans to go shopping.
I was
lucky enough to be able to buy new supplies every beginning of the school year
and at other times if I ever needed anything. When I was young I remember
walking into stores and running straight over to the notebooks and folders and
other school supply isles. What I really
remember is trying to find some pretty “Lisa Frank,” supplies. These items were
always bright, colorful, sparkly, and fun. I loved having everything from my
lunch box to my backpack be different, it really let me express myself.
As the years have gone by I have
toned all my supplies down. I have simple notebooks and folders now, but of
course I will miss having the bright, fun items. However just because they are
not the same items as when I was little doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy them. Being
organized and finding items that I will use in my future classroom is a lot of
fun to me too. I would not be able to successfully do work in my room, at
school, or anywhere else if I was disorganized. I really look forward to having
my own classroom to organize and provide supplies for.
While I no longer carry around my
Lisa Frank school supplies, I still carry the memories of them. I still
remember buying them and having hard times choosing between items, I loved them
all, and I remember how happy I was to be able to have them. These items would
always brighten my school day. I believe that these kinds of items are an
essential part to school. If a child enjoys what they have for school they will
enjoy using them for the activities they are meant for. Hopefully one day I can
take my own son or daughter school supply shopping, and they will enjoy it as
much as I did, and still will.
Happy Shopping and Organizing!
