School Supplies Suggestions

As we prepare for the start of the year, there are a few school supplies that would be helpful if you’d like to send them in with your child. They include:

·       24 count box of crayons

·       Scissors

·       A pencil box - 5x8, standard size, please

·       3 dry erase markers (thin tip work nicely, and don’t dry out as quickly)

·       An old sock (to be used as dry erase board erasers)

·       A  1” binder of your choice

·       A  white, 1" clear view binder (the kind with a clear sleeve on front cover that paper can be inserted into)

·       A pair of headphones, labeled with your child's name, in a ziploc bag (ones that connect over the top of the head tend to work better than ear buds)

·       An empty Pringels container (if you have more than one, please send in extras)
·       A framed picture of your family (will be returned)

·       1-2 boxes of tissues

Other helpful items if you would like to donate to our classroom:

·       Ziploc Bags (any size, we do go through a lot of snack size and gallon size especially)
·       Pencils (pre-sharpened are a bonus!)

·       Bandaids
·       Honey Graham Crackers
·       Glue Sticks
