[quote=Anonymous]I teach 5th. The supply list would be way shorter if I got to create my own, but I have grade level colleagues who insist on things like the 5 composition books. I put the extras in a cabinet (labeled) and hand them back in June to hopefully save the parents a tiny bit of hassle. I’d be annoyed, too. Some years a class goes through a particular item ridiculously fast, so you increase the amount requested following year, and then it turns out to be a different item they burn through by winter break. I never, ever have enough tissues. Some kids refuse to use the same tissue for more than one blow, so during allergy season we can go through a box in a day easily. For labeling— I make a sheet of printer labels for each child, and we label together in class during the first week. The only things I collect are tissues/paper towels/wipes/ziploc bags. Kids with pre-labeled supplies just chill while the rest of us are labeling. [/quote]
