What do toddlers need for the first day of school?
My first year of teaching I had no clue what to ask parents to bring to school. Our school had a general supply list but, over the years I’ve learned what my toddler classroom really needed. When it’s time to gather school supplies, from crayons and colored pencils to markers, scissors, and a smock, what exactly do students need? Here are the supplies you can ask for.
