Compass + Halloween

If you are looking to get a compass, DeSerres (on Broadway, near Granville) carries some good ones, at a reasonable price. The quality of their compasses is much better than what is being sold at Staples.

Many students still don't have a compass to use in class. If you can't afford to buy this item at this time of the year, please let me know and I'll see what I can do on my side. Such requests remain confidential, of course.

As we all know, Halloween is tomorrow. Since Jacqueline (Zachary's mother) will be with us in the afternoon to do some fun Science experiments, students are invited to wear their costume to school in the morning (and in the afternoon if they wish). Our day will begin with a visit to the school library and will be continued with some fun stuff in class. Students are not to take any food to school, I'd like to keep things simple this year.

Happy Halloween!

School Supplies List - 2011-2012

Welcome! If you've read this far it's either because:

1) You are curious and have no real reason to be here,

2) You are a former student who continues to read this blog,

3) Your child is in my class for the 2011-2012 school year and you need to find out what to get him/her for next week.


Either one of these answers is fine with me! The more people visit this blog the more I will be inclined to write.


This is what students will need for the 2011-2012 school year:
-One 1 inch binder- if you have something else at home that isn't of that size I'm sure it will be fine - reusing is best!
-One set of dividers, 8-10 subjects - can be homemade
-A flash drive - very helpful for school projects
-A basic calculator - should not cost more than $6
-A clip board - $3.99 for 2 - share the cost with a friend!
-A pencil case - reuse the one your child had last year
-One black Sharpie (fine point)
-A reusable water bottle
-Two Kleenex boxes
-One pair of indoor shoes
-A pair of gym shoes - these need to be left at school at all times as we will be active every day
-A library bag that can be sealed to protect books from water, juice and rain

I will provide your child with the following supplies:
-notebooks (math, science, writing, etc.)
-lined paper
-graph paper
-pencils
-pens (red and blue)
-a purple highlighter
-coloring crayons
-markers
-an eraser
-a ruler
-a pair of scissors
-a glue stick


School and agenda fees will be determined soon. I will let you know of the amount as soon as I have more information on this. 


Please take the time to also read the first day of school letter that is in your child's backpack.  


Thank you and have a great weekend!
