Wow! Can you believe Summer is nearly over already? I hope your family had a wonderful break. As fabulous as Summer is, I am thrilled to begin another school year and cannot wait to meet you! You will find my contact information listed below. Please contact me with any questions you have this school year.

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

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!
