Welcome Back! Supplies and Misc. Information

Dear 8th grade students and parents/ guardians welcome back!

I have been working hard to create some fun and exciting lessons for the year as well as this website to post assignments, interesting articles, links and general information. Please feel free to use this website to check assignments or contact me. Below is a list of supplies you will need for the year ahead.

1. One large notebook with at least 3 sections or a three ring binder with 3 section sheets
2. One packet of graph paper
3. Small pencil case
4. A hand held mechanical pencil sharpner
5. Large package of pencils
6. Large package of pens
7. Package of index cards
8. Large eraser
9. Box of tissues
10. Agenda book (one can be purchased for $4 from student's official class teacher)

Each student should be prepared for class everyday. Being prepared includes bringing to school their notebook at least one pen, two to three sharpened pencils and an agenda book to record assignments. Your child should have a supply of pens and pencils at home and be sure to replenish them in the evening while completing homework etc. During the first week of school many of our class sessions will focus on organization and note-taking, being organized allows each student to perform at their best and is usually the difference between an average and an exceptional student. Lastly, I require the box of tissues because every year I spend a small fortune of my own money to buy tissues for the classroom which the kids go through very quickly. The tissues you purchase will be for general use within the classroom.
