School Supplies

While many of you are still enjoying our summer break, I have been getting our room ready for our new 5th graders. For those students who will be in my class, these are the suggested supplies:

• one homework folder (any design, color, etc)
• colored pencils (just a regular set – and no need for brand new if still have from last year) (NO markers or crayons!)
• regular #2 pencils (either mechanical or wood)
• replacement lead for mechanical pencils (students will get one from me from time to time – make sure #7 lead which is equivalent to a #2 pencil
• tissue/kleenex (to donate for class use)
• disinfecting wipes (to donate for class use – Method or 7th Generation brand preferred as I try to avoid using chemicals
• looseleaf (to donate for class use)
• 2 sets of binder tab dividers (for each student’s writing and CAFE binders)

*PLEASE do not follow the list from the other 5th grade teachers – please follow the list given above.

**Please do not buy extra folders, extra notebooks, any binders or trapper-keeper type contraptions. There is NO room in the desks, classroom, or coat cupboard for binders or trapper keepers. I will take care of all notebooks and folders (except for the homework folder.) There is no need for pens – I supply those for when we use them, which is not often. For the majority of our work, we use pencils. 

See you next week!
