WELCOME BACK!

As this time of year approaches, I always wonder how I'll get everything ready for the first day of school. Your children must be excited yet anxious to begin the new school year as 3rd graders. Rest assured, they'll be fine!

As I mentioned in my summer posting, here is a list of back to school supplies for your child (Please write student name and room # with permanent marker on each item):

#1)Several sharpened #2 pencils.

#2)Pencil Sharpener with receptacle to contain the shavings.

#3)Weekly Planner *The planner needs to show every day/date for the school year with large enough lines for your child to write in assignments for each day. I will tape a sample outside my classroom door.

#4)2 folders:
1 should be labeled for homework, 1 should be labeled for
Teacher/Parent Notes and Completed Work

#5)Pencil box or pencil pouch

#6)White board marker(expo) and eraser, dry erase board (8 ½ by 11)

#7) Water bottle

#8) Anti-bacterial hand/baby wipes to share with class

Here are some optional items to bring along:

*ONE Flash Drive (also called a Thumb Drive) at Staples, Best Buy, or any computer store. *256 MB is less expensive & works, if you can find one.

*CHARLOTTE'S WEB novel. We'll be reading this during the first few weeks of school.

If you have any questions, you may email me at athena_giovannis@pvusd.net

Looking forward to meeting you all very soon!
