6^th Grade

Back-to-school shopping list

Important materials:

• pencils (at least a dozen for the year – NO lead/mechanical pencils)
• erasers (eraser caps and/or hand-held erasers)
• set of folders (2-pocket, 3-prong) in green (Geography), yellow (Science), dark blue (Math), light blue (Reading), red (Language Arts), and purple (Homework). (These folders can usually be found at Wal-Mart or Staples.)
• box(es) of tissues (give to your homeroom teacher in the first week)
• one notebook or tablet (to be used in math class for a scrap pad)
• book covers - book socks or brown grocery bags will last the longest … no sticky covers! If you plan on using book socks, be sure to have the LARGEST size available. Smaller sizes DO NOT fit our larger sixth grade books. These smaller book socks will damage and/or break the spines of our textbooks.

Optional materials:

• pencil case (zippered ones that are cloth, plastic, or canvas work the best since they do not open if they are dropped, like the box ones)
• lock for your locker (your teacher will need to have the extra key or the combination)
• pencil sharpener (hand-held)
• highlighter(s)
• crayons (box)
• colored pencils (box)
• scissors
• glue stick(s)
• book mark
