1) Check out of materials. (Get the kit with your name on it from the back counter in the media center).
a) Go through your kit very thoroughly and find the items listed on the checklist. You are responsible for returning this kit as you found it so
be sure to check carefully.
b) Put a check beside the items you have in the BOY column. (Note: some items are for 3rd grade only. If you are a K-2 teacher you can put
NA beside that column). When looking at your Benchmark books, please use the list on the back of the checklist to ensure that you have
all 68 books.
c) Do not put anything in the last box for BOY. I will bring your PM kits to you in one of our first PLCS.
d) If you have everything in your kit that you are supposed to have, sign below the BOY column and turn in the sheet. If you do not have an
item, please see me about the missing items before turning in your checklist.
