Dear Parents of New Fourth Grade Students: To help your son or daughter get off to a good start in September, we have made up a list of needed supplies.  The supplies are as follows for all fourth grade students: 7 Pocket Folders (See the colors listed below.  No Trapper Keepers or Hard Cover Binders) These will be used for Language Arts, Math, Writing, Science/ Social Studies, Music, and for a Take Home folder. We are trying something new this year and it would be helpful if you bought the following colored folders and labeled them accordingly. Red: Take Home Folder Blue: Music Yellow: Social Studies/ Science Green: Math Purple: Language Arts Orange: Writing The last one can be of your choosing and will be labeled at school. Loose Leaf Paper    J 2 Spiral Notebooks 1 Three-Subject Notebook Four #2 Pencils (Sharpened Please!)  J Eraser J Scissors Standard/Metric Ruler Colored Pencils – A 12-pack will do! Glue Stick J 1 Marble Composition Notebook for Writing 1 Box of Tissues Small Pencil Case (soft-sided fits best) Highlighter             Pkg. of Post-it Notes          (items marked with a J will need replacing during the school year)                                           *Please label each item, including pencils, with your child’s name using a permanent marker.                                                          . Please choose supplies that are NOT disguised as toys (and no pencil sharpeners).  They can be a major distraction, especially during the readjustment from summer vacation. While choosing a school bag, keep in mind the limited amount of closet space available in each classroom.  Please do not purchase an assignment notebook.  We have ordered an 8 ½” x 11” assignment notebook for each student.  We hope that by having this information early, you can take advantage of the August sales to get the material your child will be using.  These will be needed for the first day of school.  We look forward to working with you in the fall. Sincerely,  The Fourth Grade Teachers
