First Grade Supply List for 2020-2021

 Dear Parents,

         I want to welcome your children to first grade!  Below is a list of supplies your child will need.

* a set of masks --one that a child can wear  comfortably throughout the day
*large zippered 2.5 gallon plastic transparent Hefty bags. Parent should buy a pack and send in only one at a time . It must be able to hold all of the child's supplies needed for daily use.  Please make sure it is the zipper type child can manage easily.
* three plastic folders (transparent pocket in front and back and two bottom pockets inside) - NO binders. First would hold blank loose leaf. Second would be for child's daily work and study notes. The third I would keep as the child's test folder.  Label each ONLY with child's first and last name.
* two pads or packs  of loose leaf paper (paper with holes on side and red margin) wide ruled
* four or five pencils with erasers   PENCILS MUST BE SHARPENED AT HOME!!! (NO mechanical pencils or pens)
* a pack of  12 to 16 crayons or a pack of colored pencils (sharpened and ready for use)
* a sharpener with a cover 
* a pack of dry erase markers dark colors (black and red are best) (NO Sharpies or similar permanent markers) 
*  a dry eraser eraser
* a glue stick  (NO bottled glue)
* a plastic or wooden  ruler
* two plastic or fabric pencil cases (no boxes) One is to hold 4 sharpened pencils with erasers. The other is to hold colored pencils, markers, a glue stick.  PENCILS MUST BE SHARPENED AT HOME!!!
* two boxes of tissues and two rolls of paper towels
* one container of Lysol disinfectant wipes
* one mini hand sanitizer for personal use
* one lunch box (MUST BE SEPARATE  from the book bag)
* a small pack of construction paper (12 to 18 sheets)

I  DO  recommend that parents label sweaters, lunch boxes, and pencil cases.

****It was decided that students should not have notebooks this year.  All work will be done on loose leaf or sheets distributed in class (or in packets  picked up by parents for those that chose all remote learning). It is EXTREMELY important that each child have ALL their supplies daily since NO sharing is allowed this year for health reasons due to corona virus. Each child will need to keep all their supplies in their own large zipped up hefty bag (mentioned above)

***I will be ordering a personal white board for each child to be used especially for math.  I will let you know the price after school opens.
