This week has been so fun to see these 4th graders in action! We have practiced routines and procedures for weeks and now we get to see learning take off! It’s been so fun to see personalities and strengths in the classroom as we get to know each other better!

Mrs. Chaparro’s Class Supply List 2022-23

I know how busy this time of year is and I want to help make it easier. I am asking guardians to pay a $30 supply donation fee to cover each student’s supplies. This way I can get all the needed supplies purchased and labeled before students come back to school. You can pay at Q1 on Back to School Night or before hand. You can easily pay online here: ONLINE PAYMENTS marking “other” and typing Chaparro’s Supplies. If you would rather purchase the same items yourself, please send me an email prior to school beginning. 

Additionally, students will need to bring the following items:
Headphones/earbuds-labeled with their name. Guardians will be responsible to replace broken/damaged headphones/earbuds throughout the year.
Pencil Box–1 standard size pencil box, must be able to hold 3-4 pencils, one box of colored pencils, one glue sticks, 2-3 pens, 1-2 highlighters, etc.
Small bag if needed-A bag large enough to bring a cell phone or personal items they need at school. NO large backpacks are to be brought. We are a technology school, so we rarely send any papers home. ONLY lunch bags are needed if they are bringing a lunch from home. A back pack can be brought to transfer library books home once a week on Wednesdays.
Water bottle-Students may bring a small water bottle that they can have with them throughout the day.

Lanyards are optional, I will provide them with a shirt clip. NOTE: they cannot have the kind of lanyard that has an elastic pull feature.

I will purchased the following items for your child with the donation:

• Colored pencils (24 pack) and additional art supplies
• Plastic plain folders with metal paper holders and paper pockets. Blue, Yellow, Red, and Green. Folders are plain, no designs or images.

• Box of tissues/paper towels/bandaids

NOTICE: THE ITEMS ON THIS LIST WILL BE USED DURING THE REGULAR SCHOOL DAY.  THEY MAY BE BROUGHT FROM HOME ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS, OTHERWISE, THEY WILL BE FURNISHED BY THE SCHOOL.

We are starting the RISE test next week! We spent the week reviewing and doing our end of year diagnostics. They are so ready! I’m so proud of the growth they have shown this year!! If you want to help your child do well next week, it is very important and impactful for them to come to school with good rest as well as full bellies with a healthy breakfast. Our testing time will start shortly after school starts in the morning so please be on time as well. Additionally we want to help ease any testing jitters and increase excitement as much as we can. Please sign this form to allow your child to chew gum during testing. SIGN HERE

Thank you for all you do and your support as we work toward finishing 4th grade strong! 🙂
