School require them but I can't figure out what they are.

From various websites lising school supply lists.

1 Writing tablet (11x8.5 - ¾" MCL)

4 Writing tablets (11x8.5--3/4" MCL)

11x8.5-3/4" MCL tablet 1st grade……8

One-12x9 5.8" ZB, MCL tablet K grade

I should be able to figure this out, but since my brian is fired, I thought I'd ask here. Surely someone knows what they are. A link would be really cool. [Cool]

I think it might mean "Mead College Ruled"

Hey I thought Kayla was the one who posted the url's to all the info. [Smile]

You are right. I think I may be incorrect. These MCL tablets seem to only be suggested for the younger grades. I'm thinking they are those writing papers with the big, wide solid lines on top and bottom, and the little dotted lines in the middle. You know, for kids who are learning to write.

So just ignore me, 'kay? [Big Grin]

Thanks for trying Sweet William. I think that is what they are, too. You know, if they really wanted parents to get them, they should let them know what they are!

Ellen, I know! I mean, if I can't find it. . . [Laugh]

Oh, I just because. . . the reason I thought someone else might know is because I figure if I were in a school district that required this, I could go into the local Wal-Mart and ask where they were and be pointed straight to them. However, they aren't required here, so if I did ask a local Wal-Mart employee, they'd look at me funny and send me to gardening, or something. [Wink]
