Summer 2011

Dear Upcoming Fifth Grader & Parents/Guardians:

We are very much looking forward to seeing you on the first day of school! Below is a list of items that you will need in the fifth grade.

*colored pencils

*scissors

*#2 pencils (not mechanical)

*cap erasers

*washable markers

*photos, stickers, die cuts, etc. to decorate folders the first week of school

*pens – blue or black ink

*glue sticks

*gloves for gardening (our Expeditionary Learning project in the spring)

*pencil box to store in homeroom cubbie

*2 single subject notebooks

*plastic protractor

In addition to the list above, we could also use classroom donations of tissues. We tend to go through a lot of tissues.

It would be helpful for your student to have a daily planner. These planners along with a free choice reading book are very important at TGS.

We hope that you have a great summer vacation and we will be ready and waiting for your arrival on August 30th!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Pavalkis & Mrs. Snow
