I hope you are as excited about starting the school year as I am! I can hardly wait to hear about all the cool books you read and read about all the cool things you did over the summer!
You will need a three-ring binder to be used only for language arts class, a set of three-holed punched dividers, and pencils for my class. College ruled paper, highlighters, sticky notes, pens, and blank index cards would also be helpful, but are not required.
For my sixth graders:
Most of last year's sixth graders reported the most difficult thing about starting middle school was knowing how to open their lockers. My daughter found this helpful video on Youtube. It demonstrates how to open your locker. Click Here to watch the video. Another thing you can do to make this easier is to go to the dollar store and get a basic combination lock. Have a sibling, friend or parent show you how to open it and then practice it until you understand how to work it. Good Luck!
