I have been getting many things ready for our classroom and am so excited to see you soon. I know you have been anxious to get your school supply list, and here it is! 


On the first day of school please bring with you: 

__1 dozen sharpened pencils *

__ a manual pencil sharpener

__1 set of markers- broad or fine lined *

__1 set of colored pencils  and/or crayons *

__1 pair of scissors *

__1 large glue stick *

__1 storage container for your supplies- plastic supply box *(that can fit in your desk)

__2 (1” capacity) 3-ring binders *     

__8 notebook dividers- the kind with the write on tabs works best 

__5 pocket folders* : 

1 red, 1 yellow, 1 green, 1 blue, and 1 of PERSONAL choice for daily take home

(note plastic ones last longer!) 

__3  composition notebooks (the kind with the cardboard/marbled cover) 

__4 or more pads of medium (3”x3”) post it notes

__1- 9” by 12” dry erase board with two dry erase markers 

(This will go to and from school in you back pack unless you get a second set to keep at home)

Important: These will be taken back and forth between home and school each day. Either purchase a compact pair that won’t take up too much space in your backpack or have one pair for home and one for school.

Basket Making- with PCPA Grant- and Towanda



       All fourth graders will be making baskets this year with the funds from a PCPA Visiting Artist Grant. Students spent an entire day learning about the traditions of Native American basket making and how baskets are made today. Towanda, now in her 8th year residency here at Pond Cove, travels by ferry from Long Island to join us for this very special art event. Please ask your son/daughter about this very memorable day.
