7th, 8th, 9th, 10th Grade Humanities Class Supply List 2012-13

1.Writing utensils of course, pen or pencil

2.lined paper - 50 sheets tops, in binder

3.Colored pencils for map and other projects

4.Single Subject Spiral with lined paper for journal

5.Binder with dividers.If the binder is going to be only for the class then I recommend 1 1/2 " or 2" binder.Another option that I suggested to some students last year was to have a single large binder (ie: 3") for the classes on each of their block days (so a Mon-Thurs and Tues- Fri binder- making two total).This was to help with organization mostly.However, students will be able to leave their humanities binders in my classroom, and we now have lockers in the halls so the days of overstuffed backpacks will hopefully be behind us.

6. Agenda/ day planner academic year 2012-13 (no smaller than 5x7)
