Suggested Supplies for Mrs. Howard's Class:

• 1 box of 24 crayons*
  
• 1 box of color pencils*
  
• loose-leaf paper, wide-ruled
• 1 composition book for Math notes
  
• 1 spiral notebook for Writing
  
• pencils (please no Erasermate pencils--they have ink instead of pencil lead)
  
• personal pencil sharpener (with cover to catch shavings)--school pencil sharpener cannot be used to sharpen color pencils
  
• cap erasers
• glue sticks
• 2 pens with blue, purple, or green ink
• zipper storage pouch
• at least 2 boxes of tissues for class use--Parents, if your child has allergies or frequent colds, please send more than 2 boxes.

*Please send extra boxes of crayons

and color pencils for the 2nd semester.

Please do not send in hand soap as we do not have sinks in our classrooms.

• I have a class set of scissors and rulers for my students' use.

• Large binders and Trapper Keepers are discouraged because they are too large for our desks.  However, if your child needs the organizational help provided by a Trapper Keeper (I know my son does!), then feel free to meet your child's needs.

• Your child may use a mechanical pencil, but must have a regular pencil at hand to use when the mechanical pencil jams or runs out of lead.  I will not provide extra lead or erasers for mechanical pencils.
  

• Please buy an extra set of the consumables on this list at the beginning of the school year when everything is on sale. Save these items to replenish your child's supplies in January.

• Cheap pencils really aren't a bargain--they don't sharpen well and students find it very frustrating to have a pencil that just won't sharpen.  Please buy quality pencils like Ticonderoga or Mirado.  *Your child will use at least 1 pencil per week. We have 36 weeks in a school year. Please consider buying enough pencils to provide your child this necessary equipment for every week of the school year.*
