[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought it was a typo when the supply list said 40 glue sticks but I was told that was correct. I am not buying 40 glue sticks[/quote] Your kid will use that many. Just send in a new pack every 6 to 8 weeks. I promise that the glue sticks will get used. Trust the experienced parents on this one.[/quote] They will not use 40. And if they do- the teacher needs to come up with better lessons. Gluing paper on paper is stupid.[/quote] That seems like a lot. Our list asks for 4 glue sticks, 24 pencils, 1 box of crayons (12 count)… I don’t know why they would need anywhere close to 40 glue sticks per student. ES Teacher[/quote] In a mixed SES school, some kids will bring in the list and some kids will bring in nothing. It all gets pooled, so telling kids to bring in 40 makes up for half the class bringing in none [/quote]
