6th Grade IBMYP Suggested Supply List/Outdoor Education Dates

The IB sixth grade teachers have put together a suggested list of school supplies, so you don’t have to wait until the last minute to shop.  There may be some minor, last minute changes, but this list will get your child off to a great start in this new adventure called IB.  Also, it is NOT necessary to bring every supply on the first day.  The binder loaded with unmarked dividers/paper/pens/pencils will suffice.  

For all classes:  Supplies may need to be replenished throughout the year.  Many of these items are available in the classroom, however, it helps to make lessons more efficient if students have some of their own supplies during class activities and instruction.
