Dear Parents, 

          We would like to welcome you and your child to second 
grade!  Here is a list of supplies that all the second graders will 
be using.  Additional supplies may be requested by your child�s 
teacher at the beginning of the school year.  

1 marble composition book 
2 one subject spiral notebooks (100 sheets, wide ruled, without tear-
off pages) 
1 small spiral memo pad 
5 heavyweight two-pocket folders (with pockets on the bottom)
3 packages of 3 x 3 post-it notes 
1 extra large rectangular box of tissues to share
small (approx. 9x5x3) storage box with snap lid 
1 dozen sharpened #2 pencils 
colored pencils (set of 12) 
crayons (box of 24) 
washable markers (thick or thin) 
Sanford Expo dry erase markers (4 pack, fine point) 
2 glue sticks 
childrens pointed scissors 
1 large eraser 
oversized T-shirt (smock for art placed in labeled Ziploc bag) 
large box of wipes 

           Please put your child�s name on all supplies, smock and 
bag, and all outerwear/jackets.  Also, we prefer bookbags with 
shoulder straps as the ones with wheels can be dangerous for young 
children. 

          Mastering basic addition and subtraction facts will be 
vital to your child's math success in second grade.  Practicing over 
the summer is essential.  Games, flash cards, and computer programs 
can be effective.  

          Thank you for your support.  Your help in our partnership 
for your child's education is important and appreciated! 

  Looking forward to seeing you in September, 

 The Second Grade Teachers
