Earbuds/Headphone

We will be using earbuds or small headphones with
the keyboarding program and our Listen to Reading stories
in the room. Please send a set to school. We have found it
best for each student to have
their own. They will be stored in a baggie
and will be theirs to use exclusively.
Also, if you happen to have an old Discman
CD player at home and would be willing to
donate it to our classroom it
would be appreciated. Thanks!

Folder
Please make sure your
child has a larger, more
sturdy folder in their
backpack each day. It will
be used as their take home
folder for the year. Please
check for any notes or
papers from Mrs. Heitland
and myself. An example of
one that lasts is to the right.
