The school provides crayons, markers, scissors, paper and glue. Of course, there are other items that we use throughout the school year that are not on the supply list. Any materials you could provide would be extremely appreciated! Here are some additional (not required) items that would be very helpful during the year:

pencils
large pink erasers
extra glue sticks or bottles
extra Kleenex boxes
dry erase markers
Scotch tape
thumb tacks
small prizes for "Purple Box"

Welcome Back to School!

I am thrilled to welcome you to first grade! I hope that you and your family have had a restful and enjoyable summer. I am very excited about the upcoming school year. The students have been in my thoughts and prayers for weeks. I am committed to help students achieve success in academics as well as build their character and confidence throughout the year. It is my hope that the students will feel safe, successful, and loved in our classroom. I feel a child’s success depends heavily on the support that is given to them at school and at home. I look forward to working with you and being partners in your child's education. This blog is one form of communication that will include information, announcements, and classroom activities throughout the school year. The next few blogs will include info regarding the supply list, classroom rules, procedures, activities, schedules, etc. Please contact me with any questions or comments. My email is sbbrown@clevelandschools.org. This is going to be a wonderful school year!
