supply list

Hello,

I should have written this earlier, but this might save a few of you some cash.  Here is the 5th grade supply list from the HBS website:

4) boxes #2 pencils (as needed)
(1) small pencil box
(3) spiral notebooks
(4) folders, with pockets, 3-holed punched (no fasteners)
(1) basic calculator
(1) pair of scissors
(1) package – pencil cap erasers
(1) box of colored pencils
(1) set of fine point markers
(4) glue sticks
(1) highlighter
(1) set of four EXPO markers
(1) box of tissues
(1) container of Clorox wipes

Here is my two cents on the list.  The first four items are important. I also want everyone to have a binder for their homework folder and their assignment book (provided). Everything else on the list will be available in the classroom. It is just a matter of whether or not your child wants to have their own scissors, markers, colored pencils, etc.

I start the year with tissues with lotion in the classroom.  The school tissues are thin and scratchy. I don't recommend depending on those. That said, I'd appreciate any lotion tissues as the year goes on.

I hope this helps your budget.  Sorry if I didn't get this out soon enough for you, but everything will get used, so thank you in advance.

I can't wait to get going.  If anyone wants to help in the class you can join me to stamp some new books tomorrow, Sunday the 23rd, it probably will take an hour or so.  Just call 841-2599 when you get here and I'll let you in. I know that some of the kids like doing that too so it can be a parent or student volunteer, but I must warn you, easily 300+ books to process. I'll be here by ten am, probably until 6. You might want to call before you leave your house as well, just in case someone beat you to the punch.

Thanks!

Mr. Shea
