5th Grade Supply List
In order to make sure 5th grade students are starting off the year successfully, the 5th grade teachers have put together a list of supplies students will need.
*You are not required to purchase or donate school supplies or money. These lists are given as a reference for supplies that will be used in the classroom. These supplies are suggested, not mandatory.
*Paper: need two reams of copy paper and two packs of wide ruled binder paper (for teacher use and distribution)
*Pencils: need at least 12-24 pack of Dixon Ticonderoga pencils (this brand is more reliable and doesn’t break as easily. It sharpens better too) [for teacher distribution]
*highlighters: at least four different colors (might need additional to get through the school year)
*folders: three (red, blue, and green) plastic folders, two-pockets with brads/fasteners.
*notebooks: students will need 4 wide ruled composition notebooks (9.75 x 7.5 in). Must have a green, red, blue, and purple. If purple is unavailable, please get a black notebook.
*dry erase markers (students will need at least 10-15 to make it through the school year)
*crayons (16-24 count and a container in case the cardboard box breaks)
*index cards (for teacher use)
*erasers (something to enable students to fix mistakes made with pencils)
*markers (crayola/washable markers, please no alcohol-based pens that will bleed through the paper)
*sticky notes (for teacher use)
*whiteboard
*whiteboard eraser (separate from the pen- the ones on the pen take too long to erase)
*pencil box/ pouch (one container small enough to fit inside the desk)
*colored pencils (must have a personal pencil sharpener as the class sharpener doesn’t work with the soft lead of colored pencis
*pencil sharper (only if it has a receptacle or if you want your child to have colored pencils)
*ruler (nothing bendy or that will break easily)
*scissors (child friendly scissors)
*glue sticks (will need at least 10 to get through the year)
*baby wipes
*hand sanitizer
*facial tissue
*sheet protectors: small pack (5-10)
[teacher distribution]
*Each student will be provided supplies that should last him or her throughout the year.
We have supplied a whiteboard, pencil pouch, glue stick ,highlighter, eraser, earbuds, and whiteboard marker, and a set of crayons. Some of these items will need to be replaced throughout the year. We would appreciate if you would supply your child with notebooks and folders (see above for specifics), additional glue sticks, and whiteboard markers.
*Additional donations of Kleenex, hand sanitizer, baby wipes, and copy paper would be appreciated but are not required.
