See you on September 8!!


Welcome to First Grade!

We are going to have a great year together! We will learn how to read, write and do math. We will use computers; cooperative learning and we will learn sign language! We will learn all about great character and being a good friend! In order to do all this learning, we will need some supplies. Please send in the following supplies:
1. For our math program...
Real American coins (to be returned in June), please put in a plastic bag with child's name: 20 pennies, 5 nickels, 10 dimes, 4 quarters
2. Art Smock- an old T-shirt labeled with child's name- students without a smock will do projects in art without one
3. If desired- a water bottle (labeled with your child*s name) that doesn't leak- no chilled water please, the condensation ruins papers on the desks- WATER ONLY (juice, when spilled makes a huge, sticky mess).

We share all of the following community supplies. Please do NOT label supplies on this list with your child's name:
1. 2-24 count box of crayons
2. 5 gluesticks
3. 4 black dry erase markers- low odor please, wide tip
4. 10 plain yellow pencils- presharpened, if possible
5. 2 pink pearl erasers

The students will also need to wear sneakers on the first day of school, just in case they have physical education. Your child will need a backpack large enough to carry lunch (if needed), sneakers and their daily communication folder. We also have a small snack daily if your child wants to bring one in for him/herself. Thank you.

If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me at jstalsonberg@cssd.org anytime. I look forward to meeting you and your child and having a wonderful year together! I will be in the building on Friday, August 27 from 1-3, to meet students and their parents. Feel free to bring your supplies then. Have a great summer!

Sincerely,


Mrs. Jennifer Stalsonberg
