  Dear Parents,

         I want to welcome your children to first grade!  Below is a list of supplies your child will need. Please read carefully so that you purchase only the correct or necessary items. 

* TWO flat plastic folders.  It is important that these folders have a transparent slip in pocket in the front and in the back and two bottom pockets inside - NO binders allowed. These folders are usually available in the school supply room in case you have trouble finding the correct ones.  One folder will be collected and will serve as their test folder for the year.  The other folder will be called their Homework folder and will taken home and brought to school each day. This one will be used to transport all important notices, assignments, lists, etc.
*THREE reams of blank  printing paper. These three packages will be sent tot the office as they are required by Mr. Woods in order to provide all required copies for the year.
*ONE additional ream of blank printing paper for classroom use.  These sheets will be collected and given out during the year as needed for various assignments.
*ONE hard cover composition type notebook (no spiral notebooks)
* four or five pencils with erasers   PENCILS MUST BE SHARPENED AT HOME!!! (NO mechanical pencils or pens allowed)
* one pack of 100 lined  index cards (white or multi colored) Size: 4 by 6
* a pack of  12 to16  colored pencils (sharpened and ready for use). Crayons are also allowed but for many assignments colored pencils are preferable. Erasable colored pencils are best!
* 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

* 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 lunch box (MUST BE SEPARATE  from the book bag)

*At the present time loose leaf paper and construction paper may not be needed. Bottles of hand sanitizers are also not required at present.  Students may carry their own mini bottle of sanitizer for personal  use if they wish.  

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

***I will be ordering a personal white board for each child to be used especially for math.  I will also be getting personal name labels with important reference charts for daily use which will be taped to each child's desk.  I will requesting five dollars from each parent to cover the price of these items.
