Supply Night

Supply Night was a great event-we started a little early and went a little late. That's okay with me because it means I got to meet more parents and students! 

Here is a great place for me to explain about classroom supplies. At the beginning of the year all students start with these supplies only in their desk:

• pencil box

• 3 sharp pencils

• sharpener

• eraser

• glue stick

• crayons/markers/colored pencils

• 1 pocket folder

• 2 spiral notebooks

Any other supplies go into the classroom supply box. We have a set of class scissors, so if your child brought a pair they have the choice to keep them in the class box or take them home.

Not on the list-but welcomed:

• personal calculator

We will not be using them in class, but I feel that students need to feel comfortable using them, that calculators encourage more thinking, reduce math fear, and at appropriate times are a great toy. During certain times students will be allowed to "play" with them and explore higher level math concepts with them.

For those of you who were able to make it to supply night-Thank you, it was nice to meet you.
For those of you who were unable to make it to supply night-I'm sorry we didn't get to meet. Please stop in before or after school to say, "Hi." I look forward to meeting you.
