Welcome to Fourth Grade!

Hello Fourth Graders!
Mrs. Dowd and Ms. Mazzeo can't wait to see your smiling faces in fourth grade!  The following is a list of the supplies that you will need to bring to school with you on the first day.  Remember to look for those amazing summer deals for supplies (Dollar Store, Staples, Walmart, Target, etc):
* 5 pocket folders - we prefer 1 red, 1 blue, 1 yellow, 1 green, and 1 fun design for the homework folder
* 4 jumbo sized stretchy book covers
* 1 zippered pencil case -  to hold all of your supplies
* 1 pair of scissors - child sized, preferably Fiskars brand
* 20 pencils - pre-sharpened - NO mechanical pencils
* 1 small pencil sharpener - it must hold the pencil shavings!
* 6 glue sticks
* 3 packs of 3x5 index cards - lined
* 2 marble composition books (80 pages) (bound, NOT spiral sided)
* 1 box of 8 colored pencils
* 1 pack of lined paper - wide ruled
* 2 highlighters

Donations of the following items can be sent in at any time during the year-
  • sandwich or gallon sized 'zipper' or 'slider' bags
  • paper towels
  • hand sanitizer
  • baby wipes (to wipe down desks)
  • scrapbook paper (will be used throughout the year for an ongoing class project)
A homework agenda book will be provided.  We have markers & crayons, but you may bring small packs if they fit in your pencil case.  Please DO NOT bring in Trapper Keepers or any other type of binder. They are too large to be stored in your desk.

Any questions, feel free to email me:  hdowd@oxfordcentral.org
