Hi all,
If you are reading this you are probably one of the students in my class this year! If you are an adult reading this alone please go get your student so they can read my blog with you! This blog will be addressed to the students, for the most part, all year.
Welcome to my class!! I am very excited about the upcoming school year! We will have a learning community of both fifth and fourth graders, which I have never done before, so we will all be learning new things this year!
The supplies you will need:
*The usual pencils, pens, and highlighters. You will use black, blue, and red pens this year.
*A small personal pencil sharpener. It saves time and I think sometimes that the sharpener in my room has a pencil eating troll living in it. 😀
*Loose leaf paper. Wide-ruled is probably best. It gives you more room to write neatly and besides…I have older eyes than you.
*You will need a couple of folders. I have plain ones, but if you want folders with Frozen, Star Wars (YAY), One Direction or something else on them you will need to go shopping. The same goes for a couple of spiral notebooks.
*You will use binders this year to stay organized. They should be 1″ binders so they fit in your desk easily. One should be white and will be used for your Leadership Binder. You probably already have one from last year. The second one will be used for literacy. The third one will be used for the content areas (Math, Science, and SS.) I do not care what these two binders have on them…kittens, Red Wings, Star Wars (YAY again)…whatever. They can be soft side or hard side.
*You will need a couple packs of dividers to be used inside the binders.
*You also will be using crayons, markers, and colored pencils throughout the year. I have some, but if you want the colors in the 128 box you will need to bring them in.
*Dry erase markers are a must!! They don’t have to be fancy colors. Also, if you want to erase with something other than the squares I cut from the dollar store baby blanket that I have you will need to bring that in too.
*We also always need lots of classroom size boxes of facial tissue and classroom size bottles of hand sanitizer.
*Head phones for the computer..we will be doing a lot of computer work this year. Also, please bring in a flash drive. These items do not have to be the most expensive ones. (But I guess that’s up to your parents.)
***Please note that we WILL be having time for a snack on Tuesday. Your snacks need to be healthy ones such as fruit, veggies, cheese & crackers etc. Please don’t bring in cookies, candy, pop, chips or other junk food for snacks. This is the rule for snacks for the whole year. Also, please avoid bringing nuts on the first day. I don’t know yet if this will need to be a rule for the year or just the first few days. I will let you know as soon as I find out.
******If you are a morning safety please meet me in the cafeteria at 8:20 on Tuesday. Bus safeties please work your bus posts. Afternoon safeties I will talk to you and give you your belts during the morning on Tuesday. Please tell your safety friends in the other classes!!
***************I can’t wait to see all of you on Tuesday!!! This is going to be a great year!!!! I am very excited and I hope all of you are too!!!!!*************
