2nd Grade Supply List

          Dear Parents of 2nd Graders,

Welcome to Second Grade! I look forward to meeting all of you in September.  Here is the supply list for 2nd grade next year.  Please try to have all your supplies in on the first day of school but no later than the first full week.

Please keep in mind that many of these supplies, especially pencils, will need to be replenished throughout the year.  We will be having snack every day.  Your child may bring a water bottle, and one healthy, easy to open, snack with you each day. They may also keep a water bottle on their desk, as long as it has a sport/closing top.  Other styles too often spill.  When packing a snack for school, please keep it separated from lunch so that when the children unpack their school bags in the morning, it will not be confused with their lunch. This is especially important for the first few weeks. 

I hope this list helps you get a jump start on school shopping! Have a great rest of your summer and please be on the lookout for an email from me later in August!
