3M Hooks

Our class is in need of some 5lb command hooks. I would like to hang our backpacks up neatly outside our our classroom instead of throwing them all into a bin. This will add extra time to our day, make it easier to get to a students backpack if they need to leave early or forget something, and it will make it look nearer and more organized. These hooks can be bought at Target, Wal-Mart, Lowes, etc. If you can donate one hook, I would gladly appreciate it.

Plant Unit Needs

We have started a two week long plant unit. I wanted to do a fun activity with the kids. I am in need of some extra supplies before the week is over:

-Soil

-Grass seed

-Seeds with a speedy germination

-Two pairs of panty hose (they don't have to be new.)

2 or 3 cheap plants (for experiment purposes...so some will die). Anything helps...thanks!

Update to wishlist!

Today we were doing some writing with our new writing partners.  We spread out all over the classroom floor, and read, edited, and wrote some more.  In doing this little activity we found out that we need some clipboards.  Nothing fancy, just regular old clipboards.  If you have some at home that you are not using, we will even take those.
If you are able to help us with this wish we will definitely appreciate it.

Wish List

Because I have transitioned from Kindergarten to PreK, there are a few items that I would like to add to our classroom.  If you would like to donate these items to the class (new or old) I would gladly appreciate it...and so will the kids!

Dry Erase Markers

We do lots of writing when we are in centers.  Because of this, I have stopped using paper and started using dry erase boards and markers.  If you are able, please donate dry erase markers to our classroom.  They don’t last very long, and we have less than a class set at the moment.  Thanks in advance for your donation!

Calling all Milk Jugs!!!

We have a big mission ahead of us. We are trying to build an igloo in the center of our Annex building. Instead of ice, this igloo will be made with milk jugs. Please send any empty milk jugs you have to school with your child. Please make sure these milk jugs are thoroughly cleaned out. To make sure it is fully cleaned, it may be a good idea to bit a drop of bleach inside the jug with some water and shake it around a bit.
We need about 600 jugs, so ask your neighbors and friends for their empty milk jugs also. When the igloo is complete, we will have a fun and interesting place to curl up and read a good book! Please help up accomplish this mission.

There is a picture of the igloo we strive to make below. :)

Wish List

A parents trash could possibly be a teachers treasure. Please check this list ever so often to see what or class may need for future projects and hands on learning. It could simply be something that you are about to throw away. Right now, we are collecting:

Gallon Milk Jugs (we are making an igloo!)
Lids and tops of of house hold items (for sorting)
