Supply List

Happy summer families! As 4th of July passes, we will soon begin seeing the back to school ads and supplies fill the stores. Hopefully, having the supply list early in the summer will allow you plenty of time to get your child ready for second grade and maybe even find a great deal or two! 🙂

I will supply many of the materials your child will need to help them learn and have fun this year, but there are still a few things your child will need.

Here is a suggested list of materials your child will need for second grade learning and fun!

1 white 100% cotton t-shirt (Please write your child’s initials on the tag or back of collar and get one large enough to fit them all year!)

Headphones labeled with your child’s name (A piece of masking tape wrapped around the cord works well.)

1 pencil box (please none that lock with a key)

1 blue two-pocket folder

1 green two-pocket folder

1 box of washable markers

1 box of colored pencils

4 dry erase markers (color does not matter)

1 black permanent marker

1 wide-ruled notebook (color does not matter)

1 pair of clean tennis shoes for gym that will stay at school the whole year (They do not have to be new.)

Here are some other supplies that we use quite a bit throughout the year and would appreciate any donations! This same list will be posted on our giving tree at the open house in August. 

Antibacterial wipes

Kleenex

Bandaids

Glue sticks

Dry erase markers

Gallon size Ziploc bags

Graham Crackers

Fruit Snacks

Sticky Notes (3×3 size)

Welcome!

Welcome, welcome, welcome!

Please click this link to be directed to our class facebook page. This page is closed, meaning I am the only one who can add members and only those added to the group can see posts or photos. (Only parents will be added to the group – no extended family members just to make sure we respect the privacy and security of each student.) I will frequently post updates, reminders, and pictures of all our learning and fun to the group.

Secondly, please make sure to register for email subscriptions to this blog  (upper right-hand corner) which alerts you via email when a new post is added.

Looking forward to the upcoming year. ENJOY YOUR SUMMER and treasure up some small moments to write about in the fall!  A classroom supply list will be posted mid-July.

COLLECT BOX TOPS & COKE CAPS

Did you know that every BOXTOP and every COKE CAP collected earns money for our school?   This summer we would like you to work hard to collect both. The money we earn will go toward a basketball hoop on our K/1 playground!

BOXTOPS:  Every completed BOXTOP sheet is worth $5.00.  If every child from Georgetown (approx 570) fills  one sheet this summer, our school will earn $2,750.   Many thanks to Lori Simpson and all of you who are on her team of BOX TOP counters, trimmers and packers.  This is a great program that pays off because of all of YOU! Download your form here:  Summer Box Tops

COKE CAPS:  Super easy. Save the caps and go online to enter collection!  COKE WEBSITE  (https://us.coca-cola.com/give/)   Select Georgetown Elementary and enter the code on the cap.   Now you can recycle the cap. No need to send it to school.
