Supplies

The (occasionally overwhelming) trips to acquire school supplies are underway, so I thought I'd post more specifics if anyone is confused.

2-subject college-ruled notebook

Like this one: http://www.mead.com/meadstore/catalog/productDetail.jsp?prodId=06180

We'll likely use one section for in-class notes and one section for homework.

Any color/brand is fine, as long as it has at least that many pages and fits the other criteria.

Plastic flags

Like these: http://www.staples.com/Post-it-1-2-Flags-with-Pop-Up-Dispenser-Post-it-Stickies/product_SS975428

These will be used to organize the (very big) textbook so that students can easily find what they'll use most often.

These can sometimes come in wild colors or have arrows on them.  Whatever works.

Highlighters

Like these: http://www.staples.com/Staples-Hype-Liquid-Highlighters-Assorted-5-Pack/product_608393

Those are pretty fancy; yours don't have to be.  These will be used for maps, vocabulary, and much, much more!

Other recommendations

By now I'm sure your home is well-stocked with homework essentials, but if it's not, I'd recommend getting a stack of loose-leaf and several pencils.

Also, an organizational system for supplies is generally beneficial.  Most things will be in lockers, but a pencil case always helps corral loose things.

Happy shopping!

Yours in provisioning,

Miss Fischer
