Way back when the dinosaurs still walked the earth - when in the lower grades - we had classroom scissors that were dull with rounded points that were passed out before and collected after "art" class, a big gallon jar of paste that smelled kind of minty that dabs were portioned out of (no glue sticks back then).
I think we were "issued" a box of 8 color crayons. Crayola brand was best, than Prang (? - the box was mostly black). One year they gave us some icky ones, but I don't remember the brand.
I think we brought our own pencils. Of course, there were one or two kids that had to bring in a BIG box of crayons and a scissor that had sharper points.
I think the school supplied things like construction paper, rubber bands, staples.
But back then, the only calculators we had were in our heads and pencil and paper, Ball point pens were a novelty - and expensive.
Man oh man - did I just date myself!
