Supplies should be brought in on the first day of school
and be replenished throughout the year if you run out.
Please make sure your name is on all your notebooks, calculator, etc.
Wheeled backpacks that don't fit inside your locker will remain in the hallway
in front of your locker. There is not room to store them in classrooms.

• Supply of No. 2 pencils
• Supply of blue or black pens
• Four red pens
• Supply of loose leaf paper (College or wide-lined - whatever floats your boat)
• Colored pencils or markers
• 2 Standard size boxes of tissues (Handed in to me on the first day of school)
• Standard/Metric Ruler (Wooden preferred / plastic ones usually break before the end of October)
• Calculator (Nothing fancy but is used in math and science throughout the year)
• Folder to keep loose leaf paper in
• Supply pouch - NO BOXES PLEASE (Break too quickly / Explode all over hallway - horrible sight)
  - Ziploc Freezer bag works well.
• Book covers - ALL books must be covered and remain covered ALL year
• Scissors
• Glue stick
• Scotch tape
• Highlighters
• 1 package of Clorox or Lysol disinfectant wipes (maybe we won't run out of tissues by Feb :-)

As far as I'm concerned - If you're in my homeroom or have me for science you don't need to walk around carrying all this stuff.  Come to class with your notebook, textbook, paper, pen and a pencil. I'll let you know ahead of time if your need calculator, markers, etc.

As sixth graders you are expected to have the necessary supplies when you come to class - I do not appreciate hearing, "It's in my locker."  This wears thin very quickly because it holds up the entire class.  If it becomes a routine you may find yourself in detention.  If you waste class time - I'll waste your time.

READING

• Folder with pockets

ENGLISH

• 1 folder with pockets to hold paper and homework

SCIENCE

• Folder or binder with Pockets - I don't care what kind of notebook you use as long as you come to class each day with something to keep your study guides, labs, etc. in order.  This is very important - I have a notebook check at the end of each chapter.  They are graded.  It is an easy 100 if you just keep the materials for each chapter together.  
  
  
• 4 Packages of 3" x 5" lined index cards - You will need approximately 10 - 15 cards per chapter.  You do not need to bring all 4 packages around with you everyday.  The vocabulary for each chapter is given at the beginning of the chapter and is available a head of time on the science vocabulary page.

Please Note: Each child is required to complete 3 book reports of books from the summer reading list. These reports are due the first week of school. These count as your 1st reading grade!
