Welcome to First Grade
with Mrs. Barends!

Most of the school supplies you will need are provided however; I would like everyone to have the following items.

v  A backpack or book bag

v  A sturdy folder with two pockets (I will label this for you the first day. This should not be a trapper type notebook please. They do not fit in our mailboxes!)

v  A small sturdy pencil box about 8”x5”. (Not too big, we have lots to fit in our desks!)

v  A 1-inch, 3 ring “view” notebook binder- the kind with the plastic sleeve on the front cover. No paper need. We will label these too! (Larger binders do not fit into our desks.)

v  3-4 black Paper Mate Flair markers – (Flair markers are not permanent!)

v  A highlighting marker

v  3-4 low-odor dry erase markers and an old (clean) sock

v  2 large gallon sized Zip-lock or similar baggies

v  A small notebook no larger than 4”x6”

v  4-5 glue sticks

 (PLEASE let me know if this poses a financial burden for your family. I will be sure to get you the necessary items.)

v  Optional items:

Ø  “Colors in Motion” twist-up crayon sets available at Staples- these work great, even better than markers and last the whole year long when used properly! A class favorite in my room!

Ø  Your own scissors. (Don’t forget to label these things too!)

Ø  Post-it notes, any size for our class supplies
