Some general suggestions from the teachers include:

  • Pencils should be #2 with erasers; mechanical pencils are not recommended.

  • Rulers should include both standard and metric measurements.

  • Folders should be different colors to help with organization.

  • Supplies should be labeled with student's name. It's also helpful to write younger children's names on labels of clothing-especially on gym day when all the uniforms in the locker room look the same! A bag for gym clothes.

  • Students will need to cover all hard backed textbooks. Brown bags work fine.

  • Teachers prefer the soft plastic pencil cases with zippers. The hard plastic boxes don't hold up when dropped and student supplies break and scatter.
