Parents, please consider:

As you know, I pay students (in funny money) for their attendance and their grades.  This is in an effort to help them learn to count and manage money.  To this end, I keep a store of school supplies.  Would you please provide to the store any consumable school supplies that you would ordinarily to the store instead of supplying them directly to your student.  This way they will be able to buy them at the store, and it will be a relief to me to not have to supply all of the stuff in the store.  Mechanical pencils, (I have a lot of wooden pencils)notebook paper, math paper (1/4 inch grid paper preferably 3 hole punched), erasers, hole re-enforcers, markers, highlighters (especially pink and green), dry-erase markers, colored pencils, etc. are all needed on a regular basis.   Thank you.

Important Notice:

All students will have the smaller of the two desk sizes this year.  They will not be allowed to keep stuff on the floor around their desks.  Therefore, they will not be allowed to have a lot of unnecessary stuff in school, only that which they will be using.
