Supplies

What materials do the students need?

I have a bookshelf where students can find most materials that they need. On the book shelf I have:

• Pack of 12 *Ticonderoga brand #2 pencils (preferably sharpened, but not required)
  • red pens for editing (small white basket on top shelf)
  • blue pens for revising (small white basket on top shelf)
  • highlighters (we have different uses for these)-(small white basket on top shelf)
  • extra pencils rulers (yellow box on top shelf)
  • story maps that have been laminated so kids can write on them with a vis-a-vi marker (inside the paper organizer)
  • a paper organizers with blank computer paper for final drafts, lined paper for final drafts, legal pads for draft, the story maps mentioned above, editing checklists (inside the paper organizer)
  • notebook paper (in the blue bucket on the second shelf)
  • boxes of stencils, markers, colored pencils, crayons, scissors, glue, scrapbook scissors, etc (used when publishing)- clear buckets on second shelf
  • construction paper- black crate for scraps on the bottom shelf and full sheets in blue bucket on the third shelf
• Stamps and stamp pads for publishing- double blue basket on bottom shelf
• Ten glue sticks
• Fiskars scissors for kids
• Two boxes of 24 Crayola Brand crayons
• Four Expo Black Dry Erase markers
• Two hand sanitizers
• Backpack with no wheels

Students will also need a composition notebook to use as the Writer's Notebook (better than a spiral because it is more difficult for pages to rip out!) and a folder to contain information from the workshop.

*Ticonderoga brand pencils – Although this brand may cost a few dollars more than other brands, these stay sharpened longer, break less and sharpen easier than other brands. Please be aware that we ask for specific brands of certain supplies because they last longer and don’t have to be replaced throughout the year.
