SUPPLY LIST for MRS. MENDOLIA/MRS. NADEMUS

1 pair of Headphones that will stay in school in a ziplock bag labeled with student's name (earbuds are also acceptable for those who are comfortable with them). We use headphones quite often in 3rd grade.
1 Sturdy Folder (Take Home Folder) Labeled with student’s name.

NOTE- We are asking for a zip pouch with supplies for both homeroom and for switch class. This helps ensure a seamless transition between classrooms, allows students to keep track of their supplies, and optimizes learning time. There is designated storage space for each student in both classrooms. Students will only have to travel between the two classrooms with their Chromebook and headphones.
