Mr. Tortoriello’s Supply List 2025-26
This is for our class only. It is not for the entire 5th grade. The fifth-grade general school supply list has already been sent out to families. I have color coded the supplies to make it easier for you.
Please keep in mind that this is the suggested list. If, for any reason, you cannot obtain any of these supplies, we can always come up with another method. My philosophy with the students is to create a method of organization that is flexible and best fits each individual. For example, some students work better out of one large binder, while others may prefer to have separate binders for each subject. As long as we see success with each chosen method, I am fine with what you and your child decide.
