Well stocked pencil case (Pens, pencils, sharpener, eraser, highlighters)
Reading book to count for your independent reading mark (you should always have one in class)
Notebook (for grammar/spelling)
Please note that I encourage all students to bring in their devices or laptops. I love when students submit their work to me via and for many, typing is easier than writing. Going paperless does help keep things organized. If you do not have a device, I have a few in class that I will gladly share.
