Hi Parents!
There was a major mix up this summer with my supplies letter and somehow the
office got the wrong one! One I have NEVER seen BEFORE and they signed my
name to it… I ALWAYS sign “Warm Fuzzies”, or “Warm Fuzzies Always” and I have
never in my life asked for a deck of cards. I’m so sorry… I am trying to
make the best of it. I told the class I would let them keep the pencil
sharpeners for now and see how they do but I’ve found them to be a BIG
distraction in years past. Each year is different and maybe this group will
use them appropriately and take good care of them. BUT I did insist they
take home the POST IT NOTES and the tape… they are definitely not needed.
This is the first year in a long time that I had EVERY child with their
supplies. It figures, right???
As you’ll see below, I collect some supplies to distribute during the course
of the year as we run out. I also send home “wish list items” as when needed
(snacks, tissues and yes, MORE pencils)
I wasn’t going to ask for any composition notebooks because 2nd Graders just
can’t write neatly on those lines but since you bought 2 I will use one and
send the other one home in their backpacks and you can save it for third
grade.
Having 2 children I know what a pain it is to buy school supplies every year
and I finally had such a large collection of unused things that I made
them “check our supplies” following few years before we went shopping.
We had a GREAT first day! It flew by and I didn’t even get to finish the
story I started called First Day Jitters. Can’t wait to finish it Thursday
morning!
I will ITALICIZE things I still need you to pick up for your child.
I’m also posting this on my web page!!
