Dear Parents,

For those of you who are hoping to get a head start on school shopping I’ve made a list of classroom supply needs for this coming school year.  I hope you’re enjoying your summer!

Please label the following items with child’s name:

•  6 Composition Notebooks (any color)

•  2 Pentel Mechanical pencils in 0.7 or 0.9 (We have seen all kinds of mechanical pencils come to school. These work the best and last the longest) Please remove packaging and label pencils with child’s name.

•  3 packages matching lead—keep in packaging

•  3 packages matching erasers– keep in packaging

•  1 ruler

•  2 sturdy Plastic Pocket Folders w/prongs (color specified by grade)  1st graders–2 green folders;  2nd graders–2 blue folders; 3rd graders-2 red folders

•  Small, sturdy, dry-erase lapboard

•  Pencil pouch

• watercolor set–8 color

•  Slippers with sturdy soles.  Can be “Croc” style.  No flip-flops or cartoon characters. Please click on the link for more information and some examples Slipper Doc (1).

•  Refillable Water Bottle

 Please do not label these items:

• 1 pkg. Index cards

• 8 black, fine-point, dry-erase markers

•  Regular, non-mechanical pencils 12-pack

• Large package of Crayola Twist-Up Colored Pencils (not the twist-up crayons).

• 2 boxes of Tissues

• “Select-A-Size” Paper Towels – 1 roll

• Hand Sanitizer–1 large bottle

• 1 container Clorox or Lysol wipes

• 1 box Ziploc bags (level 1s—sandwich size; level 2s—quart size: level 3s—gallon size)

In an effort to add to our classroom library this year we are asking for a donation of 2-3 children’s books (new or used) from each student. The books can be fiction or non-fiction. You can find inexpensive books at the D.I. or other thrift stores. This is optional, but I think it will greatly enhance the literary environment of our class.

NOTICE: THE ITEMS ON THIS LIST WILL BE USED DURING THE REGULAR SCHOOL DAY. THEY ARE A MUCH NEEDED DONATION AND ARE  BROUGHT FROM HOME ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS.  THANK YOU!
