Back in early August, I was contacted by a BIC representative to review some new products and I was happy to check them out. I've always loved school supplies. What teacher doesn't?
Here are a few words from BIC:Bic's main goal this year is to encourage students to write more often, because writing is by far one of the most important learning tools for a child's academic success in growth. As you know, writing fosters children's emotional and cognitive development, helps foster critical thinking skills and improves academic achievement.
To help achieve our goal, BIC has launches the "Fight for Your Write" campaign, which reinforces how fun and empowering writing can be. The campaign, which can be found at www.bicfightforyourwrite.com, offers information about writing and tips from literacy expert Pam Allyn to help parents, caregivers and students make a commitment to write more often.
From those words, I knew that I had to participate in their campaign!
Check out some of my favorite BIC products:
Do you spot some of your favorites in that pile? I know you spot the 4-Color Ball Pen. If you are a product of the eh-hem '70s or '80s, those were THE THING. And, they still are!!
As much as I love those, however, I was even more excited to check out their newest products geared towards little hands. Since I'll be teaching children with smaller hands again, I thought these tools would be perfect for my ESOL classroom. The Fight for Your Write website states that these pencils were developed with teachers and kids and have a unique yellow guiding line for proper finger position:
I've already spotted these gems in Staples and picked up extras. I know they will come in handy!
Here are a few of the other goodies in the product set:
Amazing items, huh? Wouldn't you like to get your hands on this awesomeness? Well, you can! They have allowed for me to give one of my readers the same BIC product set. Check out the rafflecopter and enter! The winner will be announced next Thursday! Good luck!

ReplyDeleteHow awesome. An array of writing tools are such an incentive to students and make a difference! I'm in a district where families can't manage to provide these resources and school budgets don't allow. BIC's Atlantis pens get my fav and Kids tools are loved by students! Thanks for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteI love shopping for school supplies, too. Ask anyone I know and they would tell you how much I LOVE colorful pens. I think this is a great campaign to get involved with.
ReplyDeleteI love Bold Ball Point Pens, Mechanical Pencils, and Mark-It Markers!

ReplyDeleteI like the Atlantis pens. Will have to look into the new Kids line.
ReplyDeleteI recently got one of the old Bic 4-color pens; wow I like it so much more than when I used to buy them many years ago. They're sleeker, shiny, and the ink flows freely (no scribbling trying to get the ink to come out).
ReplyDeleteI love the pen to click four colors! I still use one!
