Supply List
The supplies for my class were not listed on the grade level supply lists. Your student will need:
- A 3-ring binder (1.5 in. wide)
- 1 Package of lined, loose leaf paper
- Pencils
The binder and its contents will stay in my classroom most of the time. It may be sent home on occasion for review. If you are willing to donate a new or gently used binder for another student, please let me know! Thank you!
