Day 2 + some notes on supplies

Hello, parents! Your scholars had a full day today. We all enjoyed watching everyone present the autobiographical items in their "brown" bags, and we're nearly finished establishing our basic classroom procedures and organizing supplies. We also have made good progress in our first units in literature, science, and history.

Please note: your child should have the following personal items available in his or her desk for regular use:

• 1 yellow spiral notebook
• 1 yellow folder
• 1 blue spiral notebook
• 1 blue folder
• 1 green spiral notebook
• 1 green folder
• 1 red spiral notebook
• 1 red folder
• 1 black notebook
• 1 black folder
• 1 purple folder
• 1 spiral agenda*
• 1 notecard case
• 1 set of earbuds for occasional computer use
• the literature book we are currently reading -- for now, The Princess and the Goblin
• 1 math textbook & 1 math workbook (these were issued by the school today)
• 1 Spalding composition notebook (these will be issued tomorrow)

If your child says that he or she is missing any of these items, please let me know so that we can find a solution as soon as possible. Additionally, all items should be labeled with the child's name. I will remind them to make sure items are labeled tomorrow as part of their morning work.

I told the students to take home these items only as needed, so their backpack weight will vary by day. However, the YELLOW folder (the "Take Home" folder) and the agenda should ALWAYS go home (and return to school the following day).

*A note on the agendas: The school spiral agendas are dated beginning in late August, so I gave the kids a few calendar planner sheets stapled together to use as their "agenda" until we catch up to the real one. It's a thin, light blue packet with an "August" header on the front. If your child does not have one of those, please let me know. 

Thank you so much for your cooperation! As always, please reach out with any questions or concerns.

Miss Kelly
