We rely on our parents to keep us supplied with valuable “junk”.  Things you might save for us would include:

1.                  Margarine tubs with lids.

2.                  Magazines

**A word to the wise.  Please do not go overboard buying “school things” for your child.  Your child’s desk is not very big,  but more importantly, too many items tend to serve as “distractors” for a first grader.  KEEP IT SIMPLE!  Example: Purchase a regular eraser, not an eraser that looks or works like a toy.

We are looking forward to meeting your child and having a great school year!

Sincerely,

First Grade Teachers
