Supply List

Dear Parents/Guardians,

I am looking forward to a new school year. I am starting to think about getting my classroom ready for the first day of school. I started my teaching career in third grade and it was my third grade teacher that helped me decide to be a teacher, so third grade is the place for me!


The first day of school, September 7th, is an open house day for the elementary. I look forward to meeting you on the 7th. Please watch the mail and the blog spot for an agenda outlining the day.


I will be writing a “teacher blog” again this year. You can access it through the Babbitt-Embarrass School home page. Click on Elementary Links, click on Mrs. Barich and that will bring you to the blog.


We will be starting a new reading series this year; I am very excited about this. We will work hard in math, learning the facts and many other math processes too. There will be social studies, science and art projects and lots of fun too. There will be some homework nearly every night in third grade. We will talk more about this during the open house.


Below is a list of school supplies. Please label all the supplies and bring them to school on the September 7th. The Lion’s Club is VERY GENEROUS with the school supplies that they give to the students each year, so don’t buy too many things.
The following school supplies are recommended...
v Pencils(please sharpen them before the first day of school)
v 3 notebooks (wide –ruled). I was at a workshop this summer and they used the composition size notebook. I really like this size as the pages are not as intimidating and work great for a journal too. So… I would like the students to have 3 notebooks, your choice on regular notebooks or composition size
v 2-2 pocket folder
v 8 pack of original color Crayola markers(the Lion’s Club usually gives crayons)
v Glue stick(s)
v Scissors
v Back pack or school bag (students should carry this everyday)
v Gym Shoes (clean tennis shoes work, new shoes are not required)

v Optional - dry erase marker
v Optional - Box of Kleenex
v Optional - Liquid hand soap (not hand sanitizer)
v Optional – disinfecting wipes

Remember that the school desks are small. Please do not send big folders and HUGE packs of crayons or markers to school, it does not all fit in the desk.
Of course I feel like there are a million details to fill you in on, but it will all come together as we move through the first few days of school.

See you very soon!!
