Supplies still needed

Hello parents and guardians,
Below is a picture of the sharpie that your children need this year. We’ll be using it for many art projects that will hopefully be displayed proudly in your homes. If you could send one to school as soon as possible, we can complete our art and start decorating your homes.
Every student in the class also needs at least one pen. Red, blue, green, any colour except black so that they can tell it apart from the pencil on their page.
Every student wrote down a very short list of supplies still needed in their planner today and I have circled in pink what they still need. Any questions, please let me know in their planners. Thanks so much for your continued support.
Ms. Watt
