Dear Students and Families,

I cannot wait for school to begin next Tuesday and to meet all of you. Many magical experiences await our class. 

I understand that there may be some confusion about the supplies needed. I would like to take a moment to clear up the matter. When the 5th grade supply list was created and sent to the PTA, marble notebooks were inadvertently left off of the list. I noticed this when I was composing my letter to be sent home and added the five journals that I use in my class. Apparently, our principal noticed as well and added seven journals to the supply list that was posted on the website. To my knowledge, anyone who ordered the PTA supply box will not receive the journals because they were not included in the original list. In the end, the students in my class will need only 5 marble notebooks, preferably in the colors listed in the letter.  ( red for Social Studies, blue for Math, yellow for Reading, green for Science and black for Reading Response, if possible. If you have a difficult time finding the colors, black will be suitable.)

I apologize for any confusion you may have experienced and look forward to a wonderful year together.

Ms. O’Brien
