Teacher Supply List

 

I like lists.  I also like school supplies.  Why not a list of school supplies?
 I've made two categories. In the first list are the items you want your district to pay because are used up every year or so. the second category is items you'd want to keep if you leave your position, so you really should pay for them yourself. 


Items you want the school to pay for:
Ruled paper
Blank paper
Construction paper
Glue sticks
Masking tape
Scotch tape
Staples
Stapler (to let the kids use)
Three hole punch (to let the kids use)
