I have noticed that some of the students are finding it difficult to carry around so many notebooks, duotangs, and books as well as their binder for the day. To help them on their way to staying organized, I have decided to modify the list of materials the kids will be needing for MATH class.
As of tomorrow, your child will need the following supplies for MATH:
1. ONE spiral ring notebook - for notes AND homework, which will be kept in their zipper binder
2. ONE 32 page notebook for journal entries - they will be using this occasionally and can keep it in the classroom
3. ONE SET of dividers for their binder - these will be used to make one section for Handouts and one for Tests/Quizzes/Assignments in their large zipper binder
4. pens (blue, black, red), pencils (at least 5) and erasers (at least 2)
5. pencil crayons, glue stick, scissors, ruler
6. calculator - they must bring this to EVERY class
7. geometry set - the students DO NOT need to bring their geometry sets to each class and will be instructed when to bring it
Your child will no longer need to bring the second spiral notebooks to class. If already purchased, they should keep the second one for later in the year in case they use up the first. They also no longer either of the duotangs.
I will be observing the students to see if this helps alleviate the stress of carrying so many things to each class.
Thank you very much for your understanding!
