Class Supplies 2015-2016

Class Supplies


Students will need the following supplies for English class:

  • blue or black pens 
  • #2 pencils
  • college ruled notebook paper
  • a folder for keeping all handouts and assignments
  • 1 writer's notebook (spiral notebook, composition notebook…whatever works for you!  One -subject spiral notebooks are usually less expensive)
  • your school-issued student agenda
  • textbook cover (Feel free to use a paper grocery bag)
  • helpful, but not mandatory:  index cards, highlighters, post-it notes 
Note:  I will ask you to decorate your writer's notebook during class time the first full week of school. Be creative and have fun!  Feel free to use cut-outs from magazines (pictures, words, phrases), song lyrics, photos, stickers, postcards, duct tape, art work, recycled greeting and birthday cards, print-outs from the internet, etc.  This is your writer's notebook, and you will be using it often, so have fun decorating it!
