Wish List

One of the things on my Back to School To Do List was our “Pick an Apple” Wish List. The idea: write supplies you wish for on apples and put them on a bulletin board. Parents who want to donate extra supplies can choose an apple, take it with them, & send the item to school. Most teachers know about this idea already, but I thought I’d post what’s on my wish list.

The clipart used here comes from DJ Inkers. I also attach a picture of the item I want if I think it may be necessary. I’ve learned to be extremely specific about what I want. Even though I ask for paper plates, I almost always end up with anything but paper plates (styrofoam, plastic, wax coated, you name it).

What I ask for on the Wish List …
(I don’t ask for all of these every year– these are things I have asked for over the years):

• Batteries: AA size
