Supplies

Could you please send this message along to the co-op moms? Thanks!

I organized the co-op art supplies recently and will attempt to keep a current list posted on the storage cabinet door. I will be keeping some of the supplies at home since we only are given room for one cabinet. I will put the supplies in 2 categories: 1) often used items will be in the cabinet and 2) items used infrequently will be at my home. If there is something that you need for an upcoming co-op and it is not one kept in the cabinet, you need to contact me before or by the Wednesday before co-op. I will bring it with me on co-op day. But if I don't have the item at home (or don't have enough of the item), you will have Thursday available to go and get it. Please, please, do not expect me to bring something from home by calling me on Friday morning. I will be busy gathering supplies I need for art classes and doing all the last minute things I need to do to get us there on time--besides that, if I don't have what you need, you won't have time to go get it.

Here's what I plan to keep in the cabinet:
#2 pencils
Colored pencils 
Crayons           
Scissors--including a few adult-sized ones
Elmer's/school glue
Tacky glue       
Glue sticks
white copy/drawing paper
a variety of colors of construction paper
Scotch tape
a few Sharpie markers

All paint and paint items will be at my house unless someone feels they should be in the cabinet.

I hope to keep enough of several of these supplies so that 2 classes can use them simultaneously. That means that when you get supplies for your class, take only the amount that you think you will need--not the whole amount. (It's not much fun trying to run around to different classes to locate supplies while your class is waiting for you to teach them.) Maybe I could divide them up and put half in zip-loc bags. If anyone has any better suggestions for sharing the supplies or organizing them better or other items that should be in the storage cabinet, fee free to let me know.

Also, once you all see the list at co-op, please let me know if there is something else we should have as ongoing supplies.

Thank you!
