Supplies

This year, third graders will need to bring very little with them. Try to put their name on all supplies with a permanent marker.  Replenish the starred items every once in awhile-

*pencils with erasers

a small pencil sharpener

a small pencil box

crayons, colored pencils or markers 

scissors

*white school glue or glue stick

a pack of wide-ruled loose leaf notebook paper to share with the class

a spiral notebook or composition notebook, wide-ruled to serve as a Writer's Notebook for the year

sneakers for gym & recess (needed every day)

a backpack

I have found that backpacks with wheels are cumbersome and noisy in the hallways.  They are also heavy and hard to wheel through the snow.  Trapper Keepers are also too big to fit in their desks and cubbies.  Space is limited.
