Recommended School Supplies

Times are tough and the last thing that I want is for you to waste your money on unnecessary school supplies. Please take a look at the items that I have listed below.

 

 Items your child will need at school:

• A small pencil box
• A box of good colored pencils. Prismacolor are the best and well worth the investment. RoseArt are the worst so don’t waste your money on them.
• A box of markers. A basic Crayola box of eight or ten is the best.
• Scissors
• A good glue stick. Most students go through several of these, so it might be a good idea to by several as back-ups.
• A hand-held pencil sharpener. Again, most students go through at least three of these per year.
• A reusable WATER bottle. This bottle is not for juice, soda, tea, etc.
• A composition journal (they run about $1-$3 depending on style) and spiral notebook.

 

Optional items your child may like to have at school

• White out
• A highlighter

 

 Items your child will need at home:

• An assortment of pencils. For some kids, the mechanical ones work well.
• Notebook paper. Students often forget to take home paper for assignments.
  
• Hand-held pencil sharpener.

Please consider donating one or two of the following items for the class:

• A Box of Kleenex. If your child has allergies, please consider donating a few of boxes. If and when your child gets sick, feel free to send in a box for your child to keep at his or her desk so he or she won't need to keep getting up to blow his or her nose.
• Band-Aids.
  

Materials your child and the class DO NOT need at school (because we currently have plenty or we just don't use them)

• Notebook Paper
• Crayons
