Suggested Supply List

 5th Grade

• Adult Scissors - we do lots of cutting and the students need a good pair of scissors.
• One 2" 3-Ring Binder
• Six Three Hole Punched Two-Pocket Folders - DO NOT get the folders that have the brass brads in them, they need to go onto the rings in the 3-ring binder.  Do not pre-label them; we will be labeling them in class a certain way.
• Pencils, pencils, pencils!
• Notebook Paper, 3 hole punched
• Colored Pencils - We do a lot of labeling, identifying, and color-coding.  Colored pencils work much better than crayons, or markers, for this and look much more professional, too.
• Washable Markers - Please do not send permanent markers to school, including Sharpies.  Thanks!
• Crayons - Please don't go overboard on the crayons. Usually a box of 48 is plenty for what we do with them, and they become a storage problem.
• Highlighters & Dry Erase Markers
• Ruler & Protractor
• Blue or Black Ball Point Pens
• Kleenex - The school does not provide Kleenex.  We usually end up needing two boxes per child to make it through the year.
• Anti-Bacterial Wipes

We will be using the dictionary a lot.  I have found two dictionaries that are especially good for 5th grade students.  They have understandable, kid friendly definitions.  They are costly, so I don't expect you to purchase them.  However, if you are interested in purchasing one, or both, of them for your child, they are:

1. Oxford Elementary Learner's Dictionary (ISBN 0-19-431275-5)

2. Collins Cobuild Student's Dictionary (ISBN 0-00712034-6)

They can be found at most bookstores.

*Use a permanent marker to put your name on all your school supplies, except the Kleenex, washable markers and anti-bacterial wipes.  You will be sharing these items with the class.*
