Supply List

In kindergarten, our school supplies will be “community” supplies, meaning that everyone will contribute and share.  The supplies will be placed in bins in the middle of the classroom tables.  Children will have a chance to practice social skills while working together.  Each child will need to bring the following:

·      One 10-pack of Crayola “fine line” markers
·      One 10-pack of Crayola “broad line” markers
·      One black and white Composition notebook


·       GIRLS ONLY:
·       One box of tissues preferably the “cube” boxes, as they fit better on small shelves
·      4-6 Elmer’s washable school glue sticks
·      One box of gallon-size freezer baggies


·      BOYS ONLY:
·      One container of Clorox wipes
·      One 12-pack of Crayola colored pencils
·      Two 4 oz. bottles of Elmer’s Washable School Liquid Glue

In addition to these community supplies, all children will need the following personal items:

·      Backpack
Make sure that your child’s book bag is large enough to hold books, folders, and other papers.  Please do not send a rolling backpack.

·      Rest Mat
Please purchase a thin, plastic foldable rest mat (about 1” thick when folded).  Larger mats or mats that do not fold into thirds will not fit inside our cubbies.  The thin red and blue rest mats work best.  You may also send either a small pillow or a small blanket (that your child can fold independently).  Please don’t send both, as they won’t be able to fit in your child’s cubby.

·      Change of Clothes
Accidents (bathroom, spilling, etc.) will happen in kindergarten, so please send a complete set of clothing (including socks and underwear) that can stay in the classroom all year long.  Please label each item with your child’s name or initials and place them inside a large zip-lock baggie. 

To support our beginning of the year curriculum, each child should also bring:

·           A baby photo – preferably one we can keep; please write your child’s name on the back
·           An outfit worn when your child was small
·           A framed family photo – to be kept in the classroom all year

Please clearly mark the rest items, backpack, baby picture, and clothing with your child’s name. The rest of the items don’t need to be labeled, as they will be shared.
