Here are the supplies for the 2018-2019 school year. Please feel free to use supplies you still have from last year if they are in good shape. The students will be keeping their own supplies. Please label everything with your child’s first and last names. The binder should be labeled on the spine. It is helpful if supplies are unpackaged before the students bring them to school. The loose leaf paper and page protectors can be put into the binder. The pencils, scissors, etc. can be put into the pencil box. If you are unable to purchase these supplies, please let me know.
THE ITEMS ON THIS LIST WILL BE USED DURING THE REGULAR SCHOOL DAY. THEY MAY BE BROUGHT FROM HOME ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS, OTHERWISE, THEY WILL BE FURNISHED BY THE SCHOOL

**We use storage cubbies in our classroom for the students to store their supplies. Many of the storage bins are getting very worn. If your student would like to bring a new fabric cube storage bin that they can use for as long as they are in our class, that would be fine. Otherwise, they are welcome to use the ones that we already have. Here is an example: https://www.target.com/p/fabric-cube-storage-bin-11-room-essentials-153/-/A-50344470?lnk=rec|adaptpdph1|related_prods_vv|adaptpdph1|50344470|0 Please purchase a neutral color such as cream or tan. Light blue would also work.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I prefer that you use my school e-mail (kgonzales@mariamontessoriacademy.org) to communicate, rather than replying through the blog. I am so excited to see all of you and embark on this journey together!
