Dear parents,

Here is the supply list again in case some of you did not get it through the email. There are no changes.

Thanks – John

2017-18 Student Supply List for Mr. John’s class

 What is required this school year?

• Flash drive – with the increasing use of computers this is now essential (a safer place to save work and allows students to bring work home if required).
• Colored pencils – we have a large selection of colored pencils in the class, but if you would like your child to have some personal ones then it is recommended.
• Blue or black pens – four (two of each).
• Index cards, lined 3” x 5” – 1 packet only.
• For new students to the class only: Three 2 inch or 1 inch binders (one for math, language and social studies). One 1-inch binder (for physical science). (If you are a returning student then students should already have their own set of binders). Please do not bring anything bigger than a 2-inch binder – we are running out of shelf space! We do not use composition notebooks in class.
• Plastic dividers for each binder (pocket dividers are optional).
• Trapper keeper. Can be optional, but a lot of students find them very useful.
• # 2 Pencils – 24. If the student prefers to use mechanical pencils, it will be their responsibility to supply leads.
• Dry erase markers – blue and black, or a combination of blue, black, green and red.
• Scissors – appropriate for your child’s size/age and left or right handed.
• Handheld pencil sharpener with shavings catcher attached.
• Erasers for pencils – 10.
• Clipboard – we have approximately 15 clipboards in the class. However, these tend to disappear, so a clipboard with the student’s name is a good idea.
• 12-inch ruler.
• 2 Glue sticks
• Compass and protractor for geometry.
• One small ream of copy paper.
• One packet of wide-ruled lined notebook paper, 150 sheets each.
• 2 rolls of paper towels.
• Plastic placemat for lunch – label on the back with your child’s name.
• Refillable water bottle – labeled with student’s name in permanent marker.
• A quart or sandwich size box of Ziplock bags.
• Indoor shoes (slippers) – can be Croc-like , or plain slippers without cartoon characters or designs. No flip-flops please.
