I purchase many supplies such as writing journals, folders,
notebooks,gluesticks,etc.  I appreciate it when parents
replace worn out supplies as the year moves along.  We can always use
extra gluesticks, pencils, erasers, and dry erase markers.    

All supplies are placed in community pots to be shared by everyone in
our classroom community. This eliminates mine vs. yours, promotes the
idea of sharing and helps all students learn how to keep our classroom
community neat and clean.  

Students do keep extra markers in separate pencil boxes for special
projects throughout the school year.
