The purpose of this post is to give you my personal supply list. Hopefully you aren't an overachiever parent (oh wait that wouldn't be so bad!) who already bought the supplies from the Merrill Road list. But if you have don't worry we can still use that stuff! You will just find that I took off some things that we don't need, and added a few things that we do need!
So if you can't wait until after Meet the Teacher on Friday (or if you can't come to that) here is a list of the supplies your child will need for First Grade! I will be passing out this same list on Friday to all who can make it!
