[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Other than glue sticks and pencils and tissues and baby wipes, my children have always kept everything we have bought in their desks and/or put their name on it at the Open House.[/quote]

My kids have never had "their" desks.  They have tables, which are moved around as needed to suit the day's work.  They would have to keep things in their cubby/locker, and it would be a pain if every kid had to got whatever stuff they needed from their cubby every time they needed something.  [/quote]

Pp here. They only had tables in K and yes then they had a cubby with all their stuff in it. By 1st they had storage desks. My kids like choosing their folders/binders/notebooks, having their own scissors, crayons, etc. They take care of their stuff so I think communal supplies are unfair for things like scissors and crayons that can be abused. I guess pencils and notebooks are okay because they are new when you take them from the bin. But some kids ruin glue sticks. I’m amazed how many kids don’t have manners/good sense by K.[/quote]

Good manners - perhaps. Learning to share - priceless. Are yours learning to share?[/quote]
