Welcome!

Welcome to a new school year and 5th grade! On Monday we will meet each other, get to know each other a bit, get started on some routines and expectations, and receive some supplies. You might decide to get some supplies this weekend in anticipation of our year together. If you could, please purchase the following:

Student Supplies Needed

• 1 homework folder (your choice of design, color – but NOT a binder nor a trapper keeper)
• 1 set of colored pencils (you don’t need more than 8-10 in your set, and no markers or crayons are allowed)
• #2 pencils (either mechanical or those needing sharpening – but get extra lead if you are getting mechanical)
• 1 pencil case for YOUR pencils
• 2 sets of binder divider tabs (we have binders in the classroom to use – the divider tabs will keep our work organized)

Extra for class use:

• Boxes of tissue – we will need several from each family throughout the school year but please don’t bring them until I ask for them as our classroom is very small and I don’t have much storage space
• Disinfecting wipes (a “green” brand please – either “Seventh Generation” or “GreenWorks” brand)

PLEASE do not purchase:

• a trapper keeper/binder – we do NOT have any extra room AND you simply don’t need one in the 5th grade
• A backpack on rollers … again, we don’t have the room for a larger backpack

I might have forgotten something. If I did, I will let you know on Monday or next week.

Have a GREAT weekend. And relax … it’s going to be a great school year!
