Third grade is considered a transitional year; students progress from 'learning to read' to 'reading to learn' and are expected to take on more responsibility for their own education.
Supply List
The children will be allowed one pencil case or small supply box for their desk, and a shoebox for the shelf. I'm pretty specific about what can go where, because if we're not organized too much time is wasted on silly things!
For the desk:- 2 sharpened pencils, eraser tops are allowed
- a box of no more than 48 crayons
- 2 glue sticks
- (childrens) pointy scissors
For the shelf:
- more glue sticks
- more sharpened pencils
- fat markers (the boxes usually have 8 I believe -please avoid the exciting look of 72 markers... we want to be friends!)
- skinny markers (same as above)
- colored pencils (again, not a huge box)
- 2 black or blue dry erase markers
- a yellow highlighter
Other necessities:
- (2) 2 pocket folders
- 4 marble notebooks (the ones that dont have spirals)
- a book to read during quiet reading time; any book on a level they'd enjoy is fine, as long as they can stay with it for 10 to 15 minutes and it's content is school appropriate. I certainly trust your judgement!
