School Supplies

Teaching a combo is special in so many ways.  Our class is unique in so many ways...including our school supply list.  Last year, I had trouble using the supplies that were on one grade level's list but not the other.  Additionally, I was able to save several things, like watercolor paints, from last year.  For the 2017-2018 school year, I created a supply list for just our 2nd/3rd combo.  This list is shorter than the list sent home in the report card.  The only thing I have added is composition notebooks, the other items I have either reduced or taken off the list.  Don't forget, you can absolutely use items from last year like school boxes and scissors.  Please feel free to contact me through email, remind, or a phone call if you have any questions.  Thank you for your tremendous support!

4 Expo dry erase markers

1 basic plastic school box

2 composition notebooks

1 pocket folder (no brads) any design

1 box of snacks quarterly

1 pair of headphones, no earbuds please (Headphones are tricky.  I haven't found the perfect pair.  We used them ALL the time. Headphones need to have a strong jack. We had a couple pieces get stuck inside the iPad which is an expensive repair.  I have had decent luck with this pair from Amazon, click here.
