Grade 7, Advanced ELA


Binders & Organization

  • 2 one-inch flexible, poly 3-ring binders:

    • One for TOOLS / RESOURCES; this binder is for handouts for reading and writing across your classes.

    • One for our ELA work that has 5 dividers labeled Homework, Reading, Writing, Vocabulary, & Grammar

Flexible, poly 3-ring binders are lighter & take up less room in your backpack! If you prefer to use one larger binder to house your "tools" and your classwork/homework, that's fine, too! However, in that case, you will need 6 dividers--an extra divider for "tools/resources."

  • highlighters

  • 1 mini-stapler

  • 2 glue sticks

  • pencils

  • red ink pen

  • 1 set of colored pencils
