5th Grade

As school begins many parents and students have asked what type of supplies each student as well as our classroom might need. I generally provide all materials that a student will need to be successful in this classroom. However, students may feel like they want to individualize their materials a bit since my pencils, folders, and things can be pretty bland. The following is a list of things that a student might want to have (but it is not necessary).

• 3-ring hard cover binder with pockets (most important)
• pencils (mechanical or regular)
• small pencil sharpeners (we do not have a consistent sharpener)
• crayons / colored pencils
• red pens (for correcting)
• 2 pocketed folders
• glue / glue sticks
• wide ruled paper
• scissors
• rulers
• dry erase markers & eraser (a piece of cloth works well)

The following donations are always appreciated greatly and used in large quantities throughout the year:

• Kleenex / tissue
• Lysol / Clorox wipes
• Wide Ruled paper (wide ruled preferred)
• Electric pencil sharpener

As always, thank you for your support!
