Hi Everyone,

I am so delighted to teach this class!

It is going to be a lot of fun learning.

 

As I understand it, a lot of your children will be taking part in either 2 or all of the Upper Core class offerings (Math Circle, Geography).

We, the teachers of these Upper Core classes, would like to have a bag of supplies for each child to use each week in each of their Upper Core classes.  These bags will be  labeled with your child's name and contain the supplies they bring from home.  They will be stored at the building.

 

This will prevent forgotten supplies and hurt feelings that can surface due to sharing or non-sharing.  Also, it will help move each class along.

 

These supplies do not need to be new.  They can simply be sandwich bags of crayons, markers and colored pencils taken from your own supplies at home.  As long as they are labeled, they will be GREAT!  I want to give the kids hands on projects as we read our book each week.  If they are fighting or searching to use crayons or markers, this will disturb our story time.  Their own bag of supplies will be a great opportunity for learning responsibility, as well.

 

Here is the list of requested supplies:

-crayons

-colored pencils

-scissors

-pencils

-markers

-ruler

-empty egg carton (1 dozen size) - MATH CIRCLE students only

 

Do NOT worry about getting these supplies to class tomorrow.  But by next week, we would LOVE to have them.

Thanks so much.  We are going to have a GREAT semester!!!
