Supplies List...
...for Mrs. Schramm's 7th Grade Classes
Not Long Now!
Dear Rhoades Families,
As much as many of you would like to extend summer well past August, such is not the case. All you have to do is wander into Target to realize that Back-to-School is, well, back!
I am eager to greet my seventh graders, and wanted to give you a heads up regarding what I would like your child to have in order to be well-outfitted to take on my classes. Please be aware that it will be Rhoades School policy for students to bring their own supplies to class, even when that class is in one's bedroom or backyard. In these "Decameron Days," students may not share their supplies with one another; neither can I have collective supply buckets in class.
With that in mind, please go over the following lists.
The Basics
This is what I would like your child to have on hand every time he or she comes into my classroom:
- A clearly labeled pencil pouch
- Pencils (plenty of these, please)
- Glue sticks (Avery seems to be the best)
- A colored correcting pen (black does not count as a color)
- At least one highlighter pen
- A decent eraser (Magic Rub erasers are excellent)
- A traditional 7½ x 9¾-inch composition book (the typical black type, although I am not particular about color) that will serve as a writer’s notebook. Your child is welcome to customize this notebook as long as artistic flourishes do not impede upon the pages themselves
- Lined paper (8½ x 11 inches rather than 8 x 10 inches please)
- Either: Two 1 to 1½ inch binders OR One 2-inch binder with divider: one divider for Literature and one for Social Studies
At home, your child should have access to the following supplies:
- Colored pencils (a package of Crayola 50 colors is both cost- and color choice-effective)
- Glue sticks (Avery seems to be the best)
- A stapler and staples
