The following supplies are needed: #2 pencils, handheld pencil sharpener, pens, scissor, stapler/staples, highlighters, 12” ruler, calculator, dictionary, thesaurus, pocket folders, multi-subject notebooks, post-it notes, loose leaf paper, construction paper, tabbed dividers, 3-ring binder, weekly planner, book cover/book sox, colored pencils/ markers, lunch box, durable backpack, computer paper and glue sticks.
