Biggest Difference
The biggest difference between term 3 and term 1 Algebra students--the term 3 kids have their own writing utensils! And, on the rare occasion they don't--the kid next to them has extras. I don't need to carry my big case of them anymore.

Awesome, for responsible students! I thought remembering supplies gets easier once they leave 5 and 6 grade.
After all, the Term 3 kids are theoretically 10th graders. There may be a correlation between carrying a pen or pencil and the level of academic acheivement. I will look at the term 3 kids who are just moseying along after failing Algebra 1/2 or one of those terms. I wonder if they have writing utensils.

Even the ones just along for something to do have writing utensils. It is amazing.
