Dear Parents,
Welcome back! This year I will have THIRD grade as my home room and I will be teaching Religion once again to all three grades and ELA to all three grades. It is very important that all students get the EXACT supplies listed below to avoid delays and confusion once classes begin!
SUPPLIES NEEDED DAILY:
*THREE sharpened pencils each with eraser ( No sharperners : pencils should be sharpened at home)
Extra eraser is fine! No pens!
*TWO PLASTIC folders with pockets on the BOTTOM (not sides) and clear INSERT panels in the front and back (available in school supply room) One will stay at school as test folder.
*THREE composition hard cover notebooks (NO SPIRAL NOTEBOOKS ALLOWED). First should be labeled RELIGION. Second should be labeled GRAMMAR. Third should be labeled JOURNAL.
*one looseleaf pad (sheets with holes that can be torn out one at a time - but NOT with wire spiral)
*a set of about 12 different colored pencils - NOT CRAYONS
*a glue stick (no jar or bottle of glue)
*one YELLOW highlighter
* TWO FLAT PLASTIC or FABRIC pencil cases (NO pecil boxes). One should hold pencils, eraser, highlighter. Other should hold the colored pencils and glue stick.
*a pack of different colored construction paper (to be kept at home till needed)
* a family box of tissues
* a roll of paper towels
* one container of bleach wipes
* one bottle of hand sanitizer
* one pack of different colored labels
Besides the items above, each student will need ONE ADDITIONAL composition notebook to be labeled VOCABULARY. Book covers will also be needed but brown paper wil work just as well to cover text and workbooks.
This year due to the new CORE CURRICULUM, it will be necessary for parents to purchase additional books throughout the year since there is required literature reading that needs to be done for each unit. This will be discussed at our opening meeting and a list of books for Unit 1 will be presented.
SOME REMINDERS:
*Our opening meeting with parents will be at 6:00 p.m.on Sept. 4th. Calendars and forms that needed to be filled out will be given out at the meeting and all questions about supplies will be answered.
*It is very IMPORTANT that all students arrive at school NO later than 8:00 a.m.each morning!
* It is NECESSARY that parents read the blog each week on Mondays to check for the assigned homework, upcoming tests, and any notices or reminders. Please also recheck during the week for any revisions or updates.
* Any appointments to meet with teachers must be made through the office only.
*Students are not allowed to bring any toys to class. A reading book or test prep actvity book is allowed in case students have any free time.
*Students who wish to bring their own lunch must bring it in a lunch box that is NOT attached to their bookbag since it must be left in their home room till lunch time. Water bottles are allowed but no soda or juice can be brought to class.
*All students should be in uniform everyday including shoes. Sweaters must be dark blue with no hoods.
*Finally, please remember to label all supplies including bookbags with your child's name!
Looking forward to seeing you at our meeting... Ms. Saville
