A Note To Parents--Back to School Supplies

Dear Parents,

The time has come to start thinking about the upcoming school year. I know many of you are out doing back to school shopping, so I’m providing a list of recommended supplies. These are NOT required. Hopefully this will help you in your shopping.

Student Supplies

~Wooden pencils (These work the best, especially with learning cursive!)
~2-3 glue sticks
~70 page spiral bound notebook
~Erasers (Most students prefer the pencil topper erasers)
~2 folders, any color or style as long as they have pockets

Classroom Supplies

~Clorox or Lysol antibacterial wipes (We go through a lot of these to keep the room clean, especially during the cold season J)
~Kleenex
~Post-it notes (any size)
~Ziploc Bags (Sandwich, quart and gallon size)
~Empty shoe boxes for project


The “Do Not” Brings

I like to keep distractions in the classroom to a minimum. If I send home something with your child, it is because it is a distraction and should not be brought back to school. These items should be left at home: toys, mechanical pencils, pens, markers, and hand held pencil sharpeners that do not have a lid.

If you have questions, please feel free to contact me! E-mail csmith2@murrayschools.org or 801-891-2661. Again, remember this is a list of recommendations. Everything that your child needs for school will be provided. Bringing all or some of these items would sure help us out!

I’m looking forward to a great year and getting to know you and your child better!

Thanks,
Miss Smith

My Summer Vacation

Dear Past and Future Students,
I hope you're enjoying your summer vacation, because I know that I am. In June, I took a family vacation to the Cayman Islands. We swam with stringrays, visited a turtle farm and enjoyed time on the beach together. It's always a good time with my family. I've also been taking classes these summer to learn more which has been wonderful. Have you read any good books lately? I've read The Great Gilly Hopkins, Esperanza Rising, and Man's Search for Meaning just to name a few. There's some great books at the library if you want something new! Can you believe school starts in less than a month? I'm excited and I hope you are too! Well, enjoy your last few weeks of summer.
Miss Smith
