Although everything you need will be provided, many students prefer to have their own supplies. Below is a list of materials we will be using during the year.
Just a tip, before you buy anything new, check your house for any supplies you might already have. Last year's scissors will cut just fine, rulers haven't changed a bit since last year, and I have highlighters that are older than your third grader and still work perfectly!
Please unwrap items like glue sticks and pencils before sending them into school.
Things We’ll Use in Third Grade!
While it might seem like overkill, it is a great idea to have your child write their name or initials (with a permanent marker) on each pencil, gluestick, and even on individual markers and crayons. Supplies wind up on the floor each and every day, and it is much easier to get them to their rightful owners when they have names or initials on them. I will provide pre-printed name labels for all folders and notebooks so there is no need to mark those items beforehand.
