Pouches

We have decided that it might be a good organizational tool to keep our post-it notes and pencils for our reading box in a little pouch, like a pencil pouch.  We know that good practice is to use post-it's to keep track of our thinking as we read...and when we talked about ways to make it easier to jot, this is what the class suggested.
So...if you have one laying around at home, please send one in.
If not, you could either...shop for one your child could pick out...(we've talked dollar store, target, staples...) Or...let me know if this is not possible, and I will buy one.
Thanks,
Dana
