One of my favorite parts of going back to school is getting brand new school supplies! There are so many choices out there, but I tend to stick to a few trusted brands, one of them being BIC®. They have a few new products that are part of their Back to School Suite. AND you can win a set for your classroom too! Keep reading...
BIC’s 2015 Back to School Line Up:
BIC® Xtra-Fun #2 Pencil
I'm dying to add these pencils to my classroom school supply list.
1. They come sharpened! AMEN! As a teacher, I love pre-sharpened pencils. They save me lots of time at the pencil sharpener.
2. They erase! I can't stand that nasty eraser mark that so many pencil erasers leave.
3. THE COLORS! Need I say more?
I am going to use these pencils at my back table for small group activities. The lead is also break-resistant! I pushed really hard, and I couldn't get one to break. I think these would really hold up in the classroom!
BIC® Xtra-Craze™ Mechanical Pencil
I'm a mean teacher and don't let my kids use mechanical pencils. BUT I LOVE THEM! That's all I use. I just love the precise writing! And how cute are these fun patterns? I have loved using these pencils to make my classroom to-do list.
My list grows by the day!
BIC® Cristal® Stylus
I absolutely love this pen! I use my iPad all of the time and this stylus is perfect! I love that I can use one pen to take notes AND surf the web. This stylus would be wonderful in a classroom with technology.
BIC Atlantis® Ultra Comfort Pen
Teacher confession: I hold my pen (and pencil) completely wrong. Please don't judge my old Kindergarten teacher! ; ) I always end up with gross-looking blisters on my fingers because pens just rub me the wrong way...hehe. Let me tell you this pen is wonderful! It has an extra-soft grip that was comfortable even after writing for long periods of time. This will definitely be in my teacher bag for upcoming professional development.
BIC® Brite Liner® Erasable Highlighter
And I saved the best for last! These highlighters are perfect for studying. I have been working my way through my school's summer reading book.
You can highlight and then if you change your mind...erase! These highlighters would be perfect for highlighting textbooks; or if you're like me and like to highlight as you read.
