It is important to teach them how to get their paperwork home in an organized manner. Celebrate your child's work at home, go thru the folder together and ask about what they did. Any letters I need to get to you I will send home in the folder and you can send things back to school this way as well. ||  Does my child need a backpack? YES. All students will need a functional backpack large enough to hold a 9x12 inch folder inside without folding or bending. Backpacks will be used daily to hold your child's many important papers and projects. Many backpacks look alike, please label your child's backpack with his/her name visible on the outside. PLEASE BRING THE BACKPACK TO SCHOOL EVERYDAY. || Does my child need supplies? YES. We have a list of supplies needed for our class. Supplies are placed in bins for general use so there is no need to label their supplies.

Public school teachers spend on average $1,000 or more per year out of their own pocket on items used exclusively by children in the classroom. Our room is no exception, that is why we seek donations to help defray the cost of these items. If you are interested in sponsoring our class by donating items please refer to the following list or see Mrs. Weber. <span style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; border-collapse: separate; font-family: Times;">
