Classroom Tools

The most important tools for your child are sharpened pencils. If they come to school sharpened, it's a big help. Our sharpeners seem to dull quickly with a lot of use. Also, they are so noisy that all instruction stops when even one person needs to use the sharpener. Erasers are also very helpful, but just a few at a time as these turn in to toys quickly in fourth grade!

We keep papers from different subject areas in different folders. We like to color-code these - so try to bring the designated colors to school at the beginning of the year. These folders often last only three to six months, so ask your child at different times throughout the school year about the condition of his/her folders. They may need to be replaced.

Our desks are small and crowded, so a lot of extra supplies are often a problem. Glue sticks and scissors are very helpful, but just one of each in every student's school bag/box is good. A __zippered bag__ for these articles is best. The plastic boxes spill easily and often!

Extra donations of the following (because we often run out before the end of the year!) would be appreciated:
